WOW! CTD Exhaust can scorch grass!
Parked my 2016 CTD on some short grass for about 15 minutes and let it idle. When I pulled away, the grass was scorched and later died. That exhaust gives off some heat!

I know a guy who returned his new Tahoe because it would not stay running for more than 30 minutes while parked. The guy's dog almost died while the owner was touring a museum that was not dog friendly and the car shut itself off. He was told that GM would not allow that setting to be changed unless the owner was an emergency responder. I guess that if you want to travel with animals and leave the vehicle for any reason on a hot day you have to do it in a motorhome. That is good for the environment!
Hardly a reason to blame GM... Doesn't sound like a responsible pet owner - find out beforehand if pets are allowed. There's always kennels, doggy day care, walkers, or leaving the dog at home?
Way to twist the story. Who cares if he was Michael Vick or a nice old man with a cute pet?
I question the story though, unless the suvs are programmed different than the new pickups. You can idle a new GM pick up, or any other vehicle I've ever been in before, until it runs out of gas.
I was thinking the same thing. Unless they started it with the remote start and then didn't start by pushing the brake pedal.
