Today I was driving my 2015 sport. I was listening to a podcast with my head phones, the radio in the car was on for the kids and then one of the kids started talking to me. Let's just say I had too much stimulation going on. I went to turn the radio off but pushed the push button start the car instead. Honestly i know it is totally crazy that I would accidentally push that button, but like I said, I had too much stimulation and I was just wanting some of the noise to stop!
Much to my surprise, the car turned off, while I was driving!!! Fortunately I was in a parking lot and not going 70 down the freeway when this happened.
This seems like a major safety issue to me. The car should have to be in park in order for it to turn off! You would think that button would never get pushed while driving, but I am hear to tell you that it can happen! If I was on the freeway that could have been deadly.
SO FYI TO EVERYONE WITH A PUSH BUTTON START..... IF IT GETS PUSHED WHILE DRIVING IT WILL TURN THE CAR OFF.
