I had a pursuit alarm/remote start system put on my 2006 Jeep Commander two days ago. The mechanic told me about a "pit stop" feature that the remote start had, and demonstrated it. Basically, if you stop at a gas station and want to leave your car running while you run in, you hit the remote start button twice and remove your keys. The car stays running. Then upon returning, you just put the keys back in the ignition, turn it to "on", and drive away. It sounded pretty convenient so I tried it. Twenty minutes later as I was driving on the expressway, the remote chirped, the engine died, and the steering wheel locked, WHILE I WAS DRIVING! Also, the information panel said "Programming Active" and a red light was flashing next to it. What happened? Obviously, the remote start timer didn't disengage when I replaced the keys in the ignition, but why did that happen? Should I continue to use this "pit stop" feature anymore?
