    ...the right way!
    Corporate Advocacy Program
Sekurus Inc. manufacturers and distributes a device that can remotely disable a vehicle. The so-called safeguard within the unit will not allow the vehicle to be disabled during the vehicles operation and has an override in case of emergency; However, if the vehicle were to "stall" during a situation that would require immediate restarting of the vehicle to avoid a dangerous situation, the operator of the vehicle may be delayed in doing so and thereby creating a potentially deadly accident.

1000's of dangerous scenarios associated w/ this device

AUTHOR: Commonstdev - Kingman (U.S.A.)

Just imagine all the scenarios where having your vehicle fail on you could leave you in a life or death situation. Traveling in the dead of winter or in the blazing heat of the desert on a deserted road to stop for a break and be stranded. These are just a couple examples. I'm sure there are a limitless amount of potential scenarios that could all result in death.

How Sekurus, Inc. has ensured every safeguard to keep the plethora of deadly risks from arising is yet to be disclosed. This product is a huge liability issue for Sekurus, Inc. and more importantly, the unsuspecting operator(s) of the disabled vehicle.

It has a blinking light to warn you of a pending shut-down. What if that light were to fail and you were relying on the vehicle?

My suggestion is for consumers to absolutely refuse to have this device installed in the car they finance or for any reason.

I'd like to see them post all the scenarios they've catered for out here on RR, so the readers can suggest further requirements or tests.

The problem (and someone else with a double Megatech product failure on the same product) :

Briefly why we are stuck in this situation:
http://www.ripoffreport.com/reports/0/345/RipOff0345723.htm#332450

Megatech defends quality like this:

The Megatech warranty ripoff:
and VP David Deans declaration of a service fee for next failure even though warranty not expired.

Putting misguided faith into Megatech:

Here I am in the same boat as the alleged problem at the State University of New York Cobleskill Equestrian Center where Peter Winston of Megatech has allegedly reneged on a firm handshake agreement, just like Megatech did to me.

Untrustworthy Jon Lodato of Megatech scared to let Ripoff Report listen to their recorded meeting that shows proof of Megatech messing the customer around:

#3 Consumer Comment

Just some questions...

AUTHOR: Robert - Irvine (U.S.A.)

Do you have any DOCUMENTED cases where this device has caused a "deadly accident" or even any accident or other life-threatining situation?

Because you could make the "what-if" argument on several parts of the car.

What if your car stalls and you can't start the car because the battery is dead?
What if your fuel gage is off and the fuel warning light is broken when you run out of gas?
What if the starter dies and you stall out, you wouldn't be able to start the car either.
What if your brake lights were out and someone hit you because they didn't know you were stopping?

#4 Consumer Suggestion

3 day warnings.

AUTHOR: Robert - Buffalo (U.S.A.)

The device gives 3 days of warnings that a payment is due before the vehicle will not restart. This is from their website:

""How ON TIME® Works

The ON TIME system is a legal electronic payment protection unit that uses microprocessor-based technology to turn credit-challenged prospects into paying customers who pay in a timely manner. ON TIME will remind the vehicle operator when payments are due, and it will disable the vehicle if payments are not made.

The Key Pad system (right) visually reminds customers of their payment status.

An LED will flash green to confirm when payments are current. When a payment is due, the flashing LED will turn yellow, and the customer will be aware that a payment must be made.

3 days before the vehicle is disabled, the number 3 on the key pad will flash, reminding the customer that he/she is on their final 3 days.

2 days before the vehicle is disabled, the number 2 on the key pad will flash, reminding the customer that he/she is on their final 2 days.

1 day before the vehicle is disabled, the number 1 on the key pad will flash and the device will beep. This reminds the customer that they are on their last day; within a 24 hour period, the vehicle will not start. ""

I guess someone doesn't like those FLASHING and BEEPING reminders that a PAYMENT is due.

#5 Consumer Suggestion

Avoid the possibility of a Sekurus device causing harm/inconvenience/monitoring

AUTHOR: Commonstdev - Kingman (U.S.A.)

ANY device that sends/receives a signal through the air can be rendered useless and thereby eliminating its possible affects and/or monitoring purposes.

Instructions to disable ANY device that relies on a signal sent to or from it.

1. Wrap a Faraday Cage (Electromagnetic Interference) bag around the device antenna and/or its body.

Problem solved!! Try it on a radio or cell phone to test its 100% affectiveness
