Description of the problem	I was driving a brand-new, nissan altima rental car on a business trip. After i returned to my hotel one afternoon, i forgot to turn the engine off. This vehicle has a key fob and a "start/stop" button only. There is no metal key. After i exited the vehicle, i noticed that the horn did not honk when i locked the vehicle with the key fob. The trunk release did not automatically open when i used the key fob. I manually pressed a button under the trunk lid to retrieve my bag. The next morning, i noticed steam and water coming out of the exhaust tailpipes. (it was app. 34 degrees that morning.) i discovered that the engine was still running, and the car used app. 3/8s of a tank of gasoline overnight. My concern is that a car like this could be driven into a garage with the engine left on, and then the occupants of the residence could get carbon monoxide poisoning from the exhaust fumes. This vehicle needs some time of warning bell, chime, etc. To remind the driver that the engine is still running if they open the driver's side door and/or exit the vehicle. Thank-you.
