The product will let you down

I have a mobile grinding service from a 2006 Ford van. I sharpen knives, scissors and garden tools and arrange appointments with my customers. Yesterday I was on my way to a sushi bar to sharpen their knives and the van wouldn't start. Let me explain how I came up with this product. My van was stolen on January 19, 2016 and luckily I was able to get the van back after all my gear and benches were ripped out of the van losing over $9,000 in the process. I decided to secure the van all the way so I wouldn't have to go through this again. I installed a Viper theft alarm, two kill switches, a joystick on the steering wheel, and pucks on the cargo doors. This product was a kill switch controlled by a remote control fob on my keychain. It worked great for six weeks, but it only takes one mistake to ruin your day. Not just once, but twice before having important meetings with clients. I had this switch installed by a professional who has been in the business for over 35 years. I had my van towed to their facility when it first broke down and when the van was dropped off it was working perfectly. It's difficult for a technician to find a problem that doesn't exist. The very next day it broke down again and the professionals towed the van to the facility again and pinned it to the relay. I unplugged the device to avoid getting into an awkward position again. I have two other switches, one built into the Viper alarm and the second is a hidden toggle switch. I wouldn't use it for a function that might leave you stranded.

Pros
  • Constant test results
Cons
  • I don't like it, everything is fine
