| Description of the problem | Sometimes, not often when i use the cable tv remote my vehicle starts up in the garage and runs for 15 minutes or until i turn it off, if i know it has started. This has also happened when i turn my electronic fire place on. The first time this happend i herd a noise, i thought was a car running in my drive way, as i walked into the garage to open the garage door i knew immediately it was my vehicle and ran for the keys to turn it off, the garage was full of exhaust fumes so i held my breath as long as possible. Good thing i not have kids this is a major safety issue in my opinion. I have taken vehicle to several dealerships in my state including where i purchased the vehicle and they say they fix it, however it still not fixed. It seems all they do is reset the battery, i have told them i already did that several times and it not fix the problem. Same ole same ole, yada yada yada |
