For some reason when I, the owner, go to start the car it goes into a theft loss mode and the car is inoperable for ten minutes. The car was my parents for 14 years and I first heard about the problem in July 2014. Then the garage changed out fuel pumps for my mother. I inherited the car this summer and am having this theft loss triggered several times a day. It requires waiting at least 10 minutes till attempting a restart. The vehicle was parked and not being jostled or bumped, so it is unknown when or why this "lock up"occurs. Incredibly annoying!

Car electrical components don't work when car is started then begin working sometime after the car is running 5-15 minutes. Gauges, radio, ac, fan, do not work and I am worried the airbags are also not working. I see many complaints about this issue on the internet (repairpal.com/no-start-due-to-failed-passlock-sensor-300). I see the recall for replacing keys but this is the ignition switch that is failing.
