Description of the problem | Open letter to subaru and subaru owners. I have a 2017 subaru outback. The reason i purchased the car was the high safety ratings. I came home yesterday, drove into the garage and shut the car off i thought. I apparently did not push the start and kill button hard enough. I am hard of hearing so did not notice the engine still running. This car does not have a remote start. My garage door automatically closes after a preset time. I happened out to the garage 3 hours latter to find the car engine still running. I can not the imagine the cars computer allowing the engine to continue to run for three hours without the key being in close proximity of the vehicle. This is a very dangerous situation. It was well over 100 degrees in the garage plus the carbon monoxide level was outrageous. If there is computer setting to stop this please let me know. Richard |
