PASSLOCK SECURITY SYSTEM IS FAILING. CAR WILL START UP PERFECTLY ONE DAY BUT THEN THE NEXT DAY IT MAY NOT START AND THE SECURITY LIGHT WILL BE FLASHING. TAKES TEN MINUTES TO RESET. BASICALLY YOU DON'T KNOW WHEN AND WHAT DAY THAT YOUR CAR WILL START AND ITS A HUGE NUISANCE. I'M NOT SPENDING OVER 600 DOLLARS TO GET THIS FIXED WHEN THIS PRODUCT SHOULD HAVE ALREADY BEEN RECALLED. IT'S RIDICULOUS. *TR
