i finally got my car back after paint and some other work, i took it it out on the road and drove it for about 3-4 hours, on my way home my car stalled and would not start. the theft light was flashing and would not turn over. i had a wrench with me and disconnected the battery for a few minutes and the car started and started to drive again and then theft light came back on and stalled again. so diconnected the battery again and luckily i finally made it home. but now the car will not start at all, the theft light stays on and will not let me start the car, has this happened to any one? i dont know what the problem is, i have always had the same two keys for the last six years and they have always worked fine. does anyone know what could be wrong with my car? also, the battery is not dead or dying because it is brand new, could something be wrong with the factory alarm? i believe it has PATS.
 
Definately sounds like a PATS issue...Mike will be able to help you best with that type of problem. Was the body shop you dealt with reputable? I hope they didn't try to make a copy of your key...it wouldn't be the first time i have heard of it.
