Consumer Description
THE 2015 VEHICLE WAS PARKED IN CLOSED GARAGE AND KEY FOBS WAS LEFT IN CAR CUP HOLDER. CAR STARTED ITSELF AND DID NOT TURN OFF RAN IN A CLOSED GARAGE FOR OVER AND HOUR. THIS IS A REAL SEVERE ISSUE THAT THE CAR SHOULD HAVE ALARMED OR SHUT ITSELF OFF AFTER 10 MINUTES MY FAMILY COULD HAVE BEEN DEAD AND NOT BE ABLE TO TALK ABOUT IT. LUCKILY THIS WAS CAUGHT BEFORE HARM WAS DONE. THIS IS NOT A MISTAKE THAT CAN BE UNDONE. THE CAR ALSO HAD AN ISSUE WITH THE THROTTLE IT WOULD REV TO 3-4,000 RPMS WHEN IN PARK AFTER WE PULLED IT OUT OF THE GARAGE. COULDN'T BE DRIVEN AS IT WOULD HAVELOST.CONTROL WITH THE THROTTLE STICKING. CAR DEALER SAYS IT'S FIXED THROTTLE REPLACED AND ALL IS WELL. BUT IT IS NOT I CANNOT PARK THAT CAR IN MY GARAGE AND THAT IS NOT ACCEPTABLE FOR ME. CAR DEALERS DON'T WORK WITH PEOPLE, THEY JUST WANT TO FIX THE RECALLS AND FOR YOU TO GO AWAY. SOMETHING HAS TO BE DONE! PEOPLE NEED TO BE TAKEN SERIOUSLY ESPECIALLY WHEN. IT COMES TO CARBON MONOXIDE LEVELS.
