“2008 Nissan Altima Hybrid. There were two incidents of the car running even though I left it for quite a while. First, in a shopping mall I thought the car was off, and it remained running for quite a while. In a second incident it stayed running at the curb for 3 hours until I returned. I thought the car was off when I left it, but it was not off.”
