However this is happening to people, it is potentially lethal. The shutdown requirements are somewhat crazy. Something needs to be thought through over again. I think it has to do with Auto Start/Stop. There seems to be a sequence of shutdown events that ends with locking the car that nevertheless leaves AutoStart/Stop ready to fire up the engine again. Somebody needs to figure out what that sequence is, and fix it. Another total puzzlement to me: if Auto Start/Stop is enabled, why is the engine idling for two hours in Park and unattended? Isn't the point of Auto Start/Stop to cut down on idling????
