Read complaints for AUDIOVOX SECURIKEY (1998)
My customer complained of a transmission failure involving, but not limited to a dtc p0785. I asked my customer if the involved vehicle (2000 chevrolet blazer) had any dealer or after market accessories installed, customer adamantly replied: no, "bone stock gm." my customer was not aware that the involved vehicle had a theft deterrent system, manufactured by "karr" and distributed by audiovox with installers nationwide. I have been actively involved with gm dealerships for over forty years and possess a wealth of experience in parts and service experience. I removed the suspect security system and repaired the damaged wiring which resulted in the improper installation. In the past week i have been confronted with four customer complaints which resulted from security systems, aftermarket radios and including aftermarket headlamps. These aftermarket components are the direct cause of system failures involving engine management systems, lights, and numerous electrical failures. I sincerely request immediate and thorough investigation which i remain confident will result in massive recalls of these inferior products.
I have owned my 1995 car for 5 years. Just recently i was unable to start the car when the alarm went of. I didn't even know i had an alarm in this car.the alarm would not allow me to start my car. I finally took off the negative battery cable and put it back on and sometimes the car would start, but it would drive rough and stall out. I knew it had something to do with the acr alarm, so i contacted the company that made it. They were standoffish and told me it had nothing to do with the alarm.i looked on the net and found many post and even a video about this alarm causing problems and even stalling cars in traffic. Again i contacted the company to get written instructions on how to remove the device, they blamed my car and then told me they had no info for the devices serial number that i gave them. I emailed them photos of the device and have not heard back from them. I ended up taking the car to my mechanic and he removed the alarm and now the car runs fine. I am very concerned that there are many people out there that are in danger because of this alarm. Like i said i have owned this used car for several years and didn't even know it had a alarm, and one that could be potential hazardous. The company is either not aware of this or they are purposely giving me the run-around.
