I read an earlier thread that you all meet. Once the car is fixed I might come down and see you all. It would be nice to meet new people

It's a really fun group that meets at Starbucks on Saturdays. I drive down from B-more on occasion. It's always a good time.

Maybe we could hook up and you could lead the way.

hey hootie. i got your PM, i saw you already managed to start a thread so i didn't respond, just letting you know.
as far as this situation.... is your insurance gonna cover it?

I was under the impression that they install a failsafe that prevents the car from starting if its in gear. or did i just make that up?

Hi All,
Well, the insurance company is going to cover everything. The dealership wants me to come in and have a meeting with them and the person who installed it. There is no failsafe on the car. I have driven it today and it doesn't sound or drive any different. The insurance company told me not to go near the dealership until the adjuster calls me ( which they have not done). Again, I thank everyone for there help and concern. Lots of bruises to me and my car but all can be fixed and that darn killing machine of a remote start will be taken out. That my friends, I will get my money back for. If they had told me that it would drive itself and be harmful if it did.......I would not have had it installed.

Also, faulty remote starter is almost grounds for a lawsuit.

Hey Jeff,
I was told by the engineer that there are two failsafes. One in connected to the emergency brake and the other to the gears. So, if the car was in first gear it should not start. This type of fail safe was not put in my car. The emergency brake one was..........but, it didn't do anything to help. I was so shocked when I witnessed this car starting with no one touching the remote, not once but, 3 times. It was a frightening thing to watch. My thoughts, and some of you probably wouldn't agree...... I want a new 40th. The one I have scares me now. If they did cut the clutch wires........they would have to replace the wires with a factory made wire harness..........no duct tape on my car. I'm a laid back person and this is something new to me. I don't want people to get into trouble, but, I could have been killed or someone else. As I have said before.....if they had said, this can be dangerous, your car could drive itself........I would NEVER had it installed. Now, much less the car likes to start on its own without depressing the remote. Please, I beg everyone of you who may have thought about remote start...........not to do it.

I'm with you. I'm not one for lawsuits either. I'd definitely want a replacement. Especially since it's a limited edition car. They, through negligence, toasted the value of the car. A lawsuit would cost them a heckuva lot more than a full replacement.
