    Is the theft warning light flashing when it won't start? Are there any codes in any of the modules? How long does it take for the car to be able to be started when the problem occurs?

    Have you talked to the Donnell to let them know that the issue wasn't solved? See if they documented the codes when they initially attempted to figure this out. If so, try and get me what codes they found and specifically what module they were found in.
