And thank you for actually going and reading it. :)

Can you just imagine the situation that guy was in? I have to share that that conversation helped reaffirm why I just refuse to own vehicle like that. And why isn’t there an override so that the real OWNER can get control of his own vehicle back from the manufacturer? A button/pedal sequence or SOMETHING after the unchipped key turns the ignition. It does not perpetually belong to Jeep/Chrysler.

TOO MUCH security is now becoming too much and they are locking out the very owners of the vehicle. If it is to that point then let hem seal it. Insurance has you covered. Better than having your vehicle being a paper weight in remote Alaska 400 miles by ferry ride from a dealer to make it work again...

Better off with a 60s VW bug and take the distributor cap off and take it with you in a bag... Or the rotor in your back pocket and a spare rotor duct taped under the bonnet somewhere hidden. :)

This guy’s situation could have killed him if a blizzard blew through...
