Didn't you also say that she had a camera installed in the garage to see who is getting in the car to drive it?

Yes, my husband tore out the camera. I hope we can get our car back. No good deed goes unpunished.

Our car was carted off. I pray we can have the gizmo that created the killswitch will be eliminated. My husband is furious, since he didn’t know our daughter had created the problem. I hope we can deal with the implications of the troubles.

Did you know she was doing this and neither one of you told your husband or did she take the car w/o permission?

I never heard of this! Where is it on the car? What's the purpose of it?

@Annabellethecat66 , I was wondering the same thing...never heard of it, but I am sure it's an add on.

I had a car that had a factory installed kill switch.
If someone attempted to take the car without permission (and who didn't know about the switch), it would automatically stop running within 60 secs. It could not be re-started then.
The driver in the know (me) could start the car and then pull up on a hidden switch under the dash, to disable it and then drive the car.

@Sweetbay magnolia , thanks for the learning moment....had no clue!....So you had to 'disable' everytime you drove the car?

I’m sorry this happened to you, and I think you just don’t need all this added stress at this time.
My husband had Alzheimer’s Disease, too. My family respected my decision making abilities. When my husband could no longer drive, I sold the extra vehicles and kept the keys to the remaining one in my possession. (Or where he couldn’t find them). That is enough. Can’t imagine why something called a kill switch is needed?
