If my Jeep is equipped with a chipped key from the factory, is that sufficient to prevent theft?? Thanks....
***** I Learned This This Year *****
It is January 2, 2019 and it is already an interesting year.
** I looked at my VA Medical Co-Pay and discovered what I pay for Acetaminophen 325mg/Oxycodone 5mg.
Civilians pay $9.14 up. Per Pill.
I pay $8.00. .... for 30 pills.
** I own a 2012 Jeep Rubicon, meaning it has bells and whistles and rings on her toes.
Today was really nippy so I availed myself of the remote start and after traversing the Costco parking lot opened the door to yummy warmth. I love that feature.
I put groceries in the back and, as I do when I drive, because tight britches make me look good but having things in the four pockets is uncomfortable I put my extra keys, wallet and phone on the seat, then went to return the shopping cart to the pick up stall.
When I returned the doors were locked! My Jeep had Locked Me Out! The extra keys I carry in case I locked myself out gave me an evil grin me from the seat.
I have a spare key in my rig, but it was locked. I have three free roadside assistance plans, but the numbers were behind the vault tight doors. Hopefully I can bill for the $179.00 door opening locksmith.
I hate when I have to re-learn a costly lesson.
** Using the blank, all metal extra key opens the door. Then all hell breaks loose!
The alarm goes off; you know, the beeping horn that causes hundreds to call the cops.
I tried starting the engine. And it made clicking sounds like a starter solenoid with a weak battery that continued as the engine sputtered and ran like it was in limp-mode and stepping on the gas did nothing and it wouldn't shift into gear .... as the horn beeped.
The engine sounded broken, but is fine with the right key.
