1 Anti-theft Controller problem

Failure Date: 11/26/2006

98 Dodge Caravan, purchased from dealership: security system locks up and will not allow the car to start. I was informed by an older mechanic that this problem was common to all Dodges with security systems built since 91. If this is so common why have they not fixed the problem at the source? I took my van in to the dealership for some minor bodywork, when I went to pick it up, it would not start. They tore it apart for two days and basically said, "gosh, I don't know what's wrong. " I have been left stranded (15 minutes to 5 hours) about 15 times since I purchased the vehicle. In my job I transport disabled clients so this is a serious problem.
