I had this system installed under the advise of my attorney after violating the Implied Consent law in my state. I was told this would be better than having a restricted license, boy was he wrong.
From day one this device has made my life a living H*LL!!! I've had more than 50 false readings, mind you after 4 "violations" (false readings) the device goes into "Lockout" mode and you have 72 hours to change it. In order to change it you must pay $75.00 to the company and $35.00 for the overnight shipping because you only have 72 hours!!! They do not care if you can't pay it, they tell you to go park the vehicle it at the location where they change the device or pay to have it towed there when you can come up with the money. This has happened to me 12 times, that's over $1200.00 dollars, who can afford to waste that kind of money on something that is not even worth the trouble and it's faulty!!!!
Because all the false readings and the "Lockouts" I lost my job, I was late several times as well as absent because I had to spend the day trying to get the vehicle towed and wait to get the replacement unit, for it to happen all over again within 2 or 3 weeks. It's a vicious cycle that never ends, and if you call and complaint they treat you like a criminal, they are rude and just flat out mean. I was told by one of their customer care representative to stop brushing my teeth before having to drive!!! Really?!?!? so I have to go to work with bad breath because of their faulty equipment. I could go on and on about this company but I'm done for now.
If you are ever offered this option, take the restricted license, at least you'll be able to go to work.

Hello ARueda,
My name is Juli, I work for Intoxalock and I would like to address your concerns. I apologize for the service you received. We do not ever want any customer to feel they were treated the way you are describing. We also understand that having this type of device installed can be a lifestyle change for any person and it is our goal to make each and every one of our clients experiences with the Intoxalock as seamless and smooth as possible.
The Intoxalock, as well as any other ignition interlock device, will read any source of alcohol, not just an alcoholic beverage. Because there are thousands of products that contain alcohol, we strongly recommend that you wait at least 15 minutes to submit a breath sample after you eat, drink, or use any product that may contain alcohol. This recommendation is not meant to be a hassle, but to help drivers avoid lockouts caused by non-alcoholic beverage readings.
I know the 72 hour lockout is short, unfortunately each state sets the rules for the turnaround times and we must follow these requirements. When a device goes into a lockout, this state requirement does in some cases leave a customer with the choice of using UPSs expedited shipping or leaving your car parked once the unit expires. We understand how frustrating that is, but we try to get you a new unit as fast as we can at the best price.
Again, I apologize for any inconveniences you have experienced and I invite you to please contact me at 877-777-5020 if you would like to further discuss your situation.

What's this? #2 Consumer Suggestion
Here's an even better way to avoid this....

DON'T DRINK AND DRIVE!!!
Be happy some of us who have had friends and family killed by drunk drivers, such as yourself, don't write the laws.
You'd be in jail for a LONG time and license revoked for 10+ years and then the monitoring device on your vehicle.
The device is NOT your problem...YOU are. Grow up.
