Don't leave the car running in the garage. End of problem...
easy to say, but have you ever listened to some of these cars run. My dad's lexus rx350 is so quite, you don' realize it is running even in the garage.
I have driven it, not used to the keyless go, and parked it and one time left the key in the car rather than my pocket when in the garage, got out and then realized after a minute or so the car was still running, even when walking in front of it. If the heat/ac, radio, lights are off, no visible indication the car is still running.
i can see someone in a hurry, or distracted, etc. getting into trouble.
opening the door didn't give any warning, didn't shut off the engine, nor did closing the door again.
IMHO there is no reason warning bells shouldn't go off if a door is open with ignition on, my 2015 GMC does that, the 2012 lexus does nothing. and then have the engine shut off after say 30 seconds if the door is opened then closed and the car doesn't move.
