Why didn't Jeep foresee my stupidity?

[Erievon]

Mine doesn't honk and I don't want it. My Fusion did that, hated it, since I get out of my vehicle every day for about 20 seconds when I drop my kid off in the morning.

What that Fusion did have though, in the settings, I can't remember exactly how it was worded, but something about idle shut off. If that was checked, if you got out of the car with the fob and the vehicle running, it would shut down after 15 minutes. Not sure why Jeep doesn't have that.

How many of you own the diesel and have left it running by accident? 3.6 quiet, diesel growler! I personally never have. Sport S Ecodiesel

I've done it twice, just did it again this week! Glad to see I'm not the only one lol. I don't have this issue with the Challenger...

I did this once but for like an hour.

Got a point there, if the ACC setting turns off automatically, the engine should shut off after a period of non-movement as well. At least make it a user programmable setting.

Possible future Tazer modification??

We have this thread, where many with 2020s and 2021s wish they had this function, and then another thread where 2022s are wishing they didn't. Ha! Too bad it's not something that can be enabled/disabled at will.

My old car honked if you got out with the fob. I'm glad the gladiator doesn't. This time of year, I'll leave it running and locked, with the keyfob in my pocket, while I drop my daughter off for daycare.

So, Tazer must be receiving messages "can you guys do something about honking" from '22 owners, and "I want that honking that '22s have" from '20/'21 owners. I'm waiting for their customer service to go "why don't y'all just swap?" On a more serious note - that type of feedback implies it should be a configurable setting from Jeep.

I'm actually surprised to hear jeep didn't shut off after a while - with the amount of electronics these days i'd expect it to have some sort of long time shut off if seats aren't occupied, or something to that effect. The remote start only runs for 15 mins

Maybe you have many favorites on your radio.

I need to get ride of that. I thought I was programming the station as a preset not telling the stereo to chime whenever a certain song comes on can I add that to the stupid list of things Jeeps can do?

I don't want that.

You can change the alert settings in UConnect.

even a deaf person could feel the vibrations at idle

i for one would like the ability to leave it running when the dog is inside, lock the door and know that it can’t be driven until unlocked with the remote (not stolen, not bumped into gear through some series of unfortunate events)

or if I just cranked it and need to stop quickly so as to not be cold starting it again

I noticed that too. That is why one of my first mods was the exhaust. I love it so much better now. Because now I can actually hear it over the music. And I have a standard and I don't want to be having to watch the RPM's the whole time to know when to shift. I would rather be able to hear it. So the new exhaust is much better.

Owners manual says after 30 min the engine will shut off; might just be in AutoPark situations, not sure. Remote start will only run for 15 minutes.

About an 1/8th of a tank.

Living in the upper Midwest I do me best to be prepared for nasty winter weather with the possibility of being being stranded by road closer if not getting stuck in a blizzard. I was just wondering the other day how long my fuel supply might hold out. Thanks for doing my research for me!

Your not the only stupid one...went to dinner to eat and while 2 beers in the waitress informs me that I left my lights on...was actually still running for maybe 1/2 hr.

But yet we can’t backup or drive with the door open lmao

I have been impressed by how quiet the 3.6 is at idle. Not anymore....

1900hrs last night I parked in my basement, unpacked what little shopping I had, locked the JTR and left. 0530hrs this morning I went down to the jeep to go to work and to my surprise the headlights were on...so was the engine. I had left the thing on idle for the best part of 10 hrs!

So Jeep....it's obviously your fault, in this day and age, that the engine wasn't rough or noisy enough for me to notice I'd been a complete Twunt and left it running (the basement does have extractor fans whirring).

joking aside, it didn't bing at me as I got out and without the key, I'm surprised it didn't shut itself down after a period of time.

Anyway, no harm done, car warm when I got in and I'll be sure to double check from now on!

I've do e this at the gym. I came out and it had been running for 2 hours.

Like some others, I'm glad I'm not the only one who has done this...
