“So I park my car in the drive way turn it off and take the key out but the car didn't turn off.. It was still running. It turned off when I opened the door, the lights on the dash all stayed on. This happened numerous times. I've had this car since 2006 and have had my share of problems with it.. Before this happened I was having issues starting it for about a week.. Maybe longer. I would have to start it about 3 times before it stayed on.”
