This is not an accident. This is a safety concern regarding the engine starting/stop button when operating the vehicle using the start/stop button you can exit the vehicle with the engine running without any type of warning signal that the engine is still running such as a warding chime horn beep or a vibration on the key fob. It is easy to forget to press the stop button when leaving the vehicle.as we have experienced several times. The dangerous concern with this lack of a safety notification is the car can be left running in an enclosed garage spreading deadly carbon monoxide through a home. Or having a car stolen while fueling the car or doing things that would leave the car unlocked. If I place the start/stop button the accessory position the horn beeps and the headlights flash and the interior lights flash. These warnings will stay on for several minutes. But not if the engine is running. Interesting fact is that other manufactures such as Honda and Kia do have warning sounds to remind the driver to stop the engine. The Chrysler dealer is not concerned and a phone call to Chrysler customer indicated they are not concerned but a memo would be sent to some place. This should be corrected before people die from co poisoning or a car jacking.
