What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Wisconsin
I have had my interlock device for a little over 2 months of a 12 month contract. A week into having it, the device froze up and I got it replaced. Had it in again a few weeks later as it was honking before I could even pull over to blow. Or when I picked it up and started blowing, it would honk. I am not drinking nor consuming anything that would make it honk. In order to get it to stop honking, I have to pull over, turn car off, reblow and my car will not start. I was jumped 3 times the previous week. My battery was 5 years old. I bought a new one. Device worked fine, no honking for 1 day, that is it. I have had to get jumped 4 times as I was taking it in to be recalibrated. they said nothing is wrong with it. A mechanic checked out the alternator and my new battery, both are good. The device has to be wired wrong. Every time I honk I have to shut off car. My car then has to be jumped. I invested in a self jump apparatus. I do not know how I can continue to do this until January! My jeep is a manuel, so that makes it hard when it clicks to let me know I will need to blow shortly when I am on the interstate, an exit or stuck in traffic. I had an appointment yesterday. It honked, pulled over, turned it off, blew fine, would not start.. so jumped myself, a mile later it went off again and I blew, but it honked and I let it honk for 6 miles until I got to my appt. I can not keep jumping my car. It is unsafe. I can't even imagine driving more than 8 or 10 miles omg. This device is so unsafe and frustrating. It sucks the fun out of driving. I can see it honk if there is alcohol, by all means honk... but to blow wrong, not hard enough, or suck long or hard enough is insane to make my car have to be turned off to stop the honking. I blew into it when it was honking, does not turn the horn off, just says drive safely.... right. I am going to piss some road rager off some day and will get shot as they will think I am honking at them. UGH. SUPER MAD AND FRUSTRATED.
