My antitheft device has been engaging every two or so weeks since I purchased the vehicle a year ago. I have to sit in the car for ten minutes while the light flashes and wait for the light to go off because the car won't start. I have checked several complaint sites with owners of the same car having the same problem. Dealerships continue to say there is no recall and estimate the repair costs anywhere from 350.00 to 1500.00., not including the 100.00 initial diagnostic cost. I would like to know if a recall will be issued asap. Thank you.
