ABSTRACT:
A vehicle immobilizing system for engaging a brake pedal of a vehicle and locking the brakes of the vehicle in an activated position, but which does not interfere with the operation of the vehicle's brakes when the vehicle is being operated. The vehicle immobilizing system includes a standard vehicle brake pedal assembly, a retractable locking shaft, a solenoid, for extending and retracting the retractable locking shaft, a locking tumbler to prevent the retractable locking shaft from being physically forced open to deactivate the vehicle's brakes, and an activation switch for the immobilizing system. The retractable locking shaft is attached to the sidewall of a standard vehicle brake pedal assembly so as to prevent the upward movement of the brake pedal arm when the vehicle's immobilizing system is activated. Once the vehicle immobilizing system is activated all four (4) brakes of the vehicle will be locked and function as an anti-theft device.
