Yea and in a town with another town across the freeway with another one about 10 miles away with a combined population of over 170,000. I had my 2011 Ford 6.2 gasser that the remote start wouldn't work and it took 3 days to find and then I had to wait a couple of days for them to get the part. Guess what it was, it was the switch for the hood was broken. So the BCM (Body Control Module)thought the hood was open. If the BCM thinks the hood is open it won't allow the truck to start remotely. This is also with the Ford tech support on line helping them. I had put different tires on the truck and they were even blaming that as the cause so I had to take my stock tires in and they put them on and it still didn't work. I tried to tell them that the remote start stopped working about 3 months before I put the different tires and wheels on it. I told them I guess the truck figured I was going to change the tires and wheels and so the remote start just stopped working 3 months early to try and convince me not to change the tires and wheels. :h:S I sat at the dealership those days because I wanted to know what they were doing, it is a good thing I'm retired. They bought me lunchs and gave me a couple of free oil changes for taking so long.
I know this didn't cause me to not use the truck but with all of the electronics on either the gas or the diesel it is a cr** shoot whether they find it or not.
