| I own a 2009 nissan murano s . it comes with push button start/stop engine (not to be confused with the intelligent system. to start the engine, you must have your foot on the brake, put the key fob in the slot, and push the start/stop button..... the danger is when you park the car in your garage...and forget to push the start/stop button to turn the engine off... because this technology is new, the instinct is to pull the key fob out and get out of the car... the engine remains on and it is quiet enough that you do not notice the engine running... the danger is that carbon monoxide can fill up your garage and house and kill the inhabitants... i contacted nissan via email. they had a tech. review my complaint and responded as follows don't forget to push the button to turn the engine off... obviously they do not get the danger... i hope you do. *tr | |||
