Hi All,
I am desperate to see if any other owners have had this issue! Our 04 Element is at 105,000 miles. I was driving it last Thursday when out of no where the immobilizer activated and cut off fuel to the car and killed it! We had it towed into the dealer thinking it was just the key needing reprogramming - however, that didn't work. The ONLY feed back we did get was. Every time they turn the key to "on position" the fuze pops and the car is dead again. We were told it could be related to the dealer-installed after market alarm, so we told them to rip the dang thing out and try again. Now the shop foreman is working on it with STILL NO ANSWERS!
Has anyone else had an issue like this or similar? My Husband is a master tech for VW and is FURIOUS that they are all lost of fixing our car. He suggested the ignition coil or switch and they dismissed him. He even suggested pinning out the wires leading to the fuze and is getting ignored.
HELP!
