Came back after lunch today, I was busy talking to my friend and forgot to turn off the engine. Didn't even hear the warming chirps.

So 4 hours later when I got back to my car and found it still running. Luckily it was still there. May be keyless start is not a good idea for absent minded people - such as me.

Do you think there's any long lasting damage to the engine by letting it idle for 4 hours? Did this happen to anyone else?

 

Doubt there's any harm

 

WoW....

 

Dont feel bad! I left my car running in a supermarket parking lot! Im glad it was still there ! Its something to pay attention to , believe me! vonzip

 

it wouldnt do any harm, just probably you lost a little gas, thats about it.

 

i still don't see how someone can forget the car is running...

music playing, nav screen on, exhaust sound, motor sound... how can you not notice any of that

 

I bet you wont do that again though!!!
I am sure that is a one time thing!

 

holy cow!!!! I don't think it'll move without the keyless device. Never tried it, so I'm not sure. Lucky u still have the car.

 

whs^

 

it does move... ^ and just check your coolant levels now..

 

I;ve done it once going into Publix, almost done it several time but I always fall back into the car and turn it off. It should kill it after ~5 minutes with no key, otherwise, why a beep??

 

Okay, I'm probably asking a dumb question but how did the car continue to run if you took the key with you. Mine stops running if I get a few feet from it.

 

uh rly?

 

Check again. Car will run till you shut it off. Even if you walk very far away....

If yours does shut off you have a great feature that we all want!!!!

 

Okay. I'll have to check that again.
