Theft system activates on car w/O warning when trying to start car. Car thinks it's being stolen. It starts and then shuts down with theft system light blinking. Can only move by towing it away. Have had it to dealer on 5 different occasions. Last time replace instrument cluster module, the next day hit a bump and thft system light came on. Did this on 4 occasions but car started after cutting it off. Last time about 5 weeks after last repair, it gave me no warning when I tried to start it. The theft system activated and it shut the car down. It was towed to dealer that did previous w ork (from ga. To fla.), they informed me I needed new keys and a locking system. This has been an ongoing problem since February 2000, I have had the car towed 5 times, twice in one day.
