| Description of the problem | Since i leased my car in may2014 i forgot to turn the engine off 4 times . Twice it ran all night in my garage but fortunately the gas fumes did not enter my house while i was sleeping. I believe its because i'm not use to the keyless ignition system. At first i thought i mistakenly started the engine with the remote start capability while the key was in my pocket. I reported the problem to the car dealer and at my request they disengaged the remote start feature on the vehicle, recently the car was left running all night for the second time so i apparently forgot to turn it off, i am elderly and hard of hearing and can hardly hear the engine running, i wear a hearing aid. It runs very quietly. Once i loaned my daughter the car and she encountered the same problem of not turning off the engine, i learn from internet post that countless reports have been made and several deaths by carbon monoxide entering homes have occurred due to this problem, i understand the keyless ignition system has been around for many years and is installed in many different vehicles, i was not aware of it until i got my car. I feel a safety recall should be issued to correct the problem before more people get killed, the public should be made aware of it without further delay since countless reports have already been made. Please acknowledge receipt of my report. Thank you. |
