That's what my car does. It won't go into drive if the key fob is not detected inside the vehicle.
That's a security feature actually. It's not quite the same as having the car running, leaving the vehicle, and walking away.

Any car that's involved in accident will lock the seat belts to maximize the protection of the occupants. Those have to be replaced as the lock is permanent. Some cars can lock the seatbelt depending of there is passenger using the seatbelt, but the majority of car will lock all the seatbelts.
You misunderstood my post. I was referring to general cost of a car, and the not the 10k to replace the airbags among other things. But you are right. That's why I said the car will be totaled. If a used 2017 model can be had for 12-15k, then the insurance company will total the car. Also, for the airbags to deploy there must have been an immense force of some kind to trip it. There could be damage underneath the car that's not visible.
I busted the myth for everyone.Actually having a little bit of a mindfuck because of this thread because the dealership mentioned this feature of my car specifically citing OPs scenario, but upon Google-ing, that is not true. My car would drive away just fine without the keyfob in it.
Dealership told me that the car would cut the engine after a certain amount of distance without a keyfob.

Someone feel free to correct me, but no car manufacturer has a keyfob setup that shuts off the car if it's been driven away from the fobs location.Actually having a little bit of a mindfuck because of this thread because the dealership mentioned this feature of my car specifically citing OPs scenario, but upon Google-ing, that is not true.

I think they're referring to the car being placed into drive even with no key fob present.Someone feel free to correct me, but no car manufacturer has a keyfob setup that shuts off the car if it's been driven away from the fobs location.
Such a thing doesn't exist to my knowledge.

Oh, I didn't realize cars were incapable of killing people... thanks for setting me straight. I'd love to live in a world where I don't have to worry about my things being stolen... but that isn't the world we live in and it's naive to say otherwise.
It pretty much is his fault the car was stolen and I'd guess his insurance company will come to the same conclusion. If he had turned the car off he would still have a car, that isn't to say the thief isn't responsible either there is enough blame to go around
Joy ride.So how's this work? As soon as the thief turns the car off, it's off for good because they don't have the key?
Apparently both places are full of "dumbasses" according to this thread lol.
No body damage, but the airbags deployed and windshield cracked?
Probably took your car rallying and hit some sweet jumps.
You live in Norcross OP? Lol jk thats the only speedway I knowI went into my local speedway this morning to get coffee came out and my car was gone. Already filed the report with the police and they did a search and could not find it in the area. Nice Blue 2017 Honda Civic gone that easily. I left the car running but I had the remote keyfob on me and did not think these cars could get far without the Keyfob.... Boy was I wrong.
Just here to vent and hear the community stories on issues like this.
My wife's car was stolen in college. When she got it back there was a dog in the trunk.
Even ignoring the chance it can get stolen, that's very environmentally wasteful and it's not like NJ/NY even get that cold.
This whole story is just stupid. Why would you steal a car just to destroy it. People confuse me.
Oh. So unlocked AND car still running. Nothing to say besides congratulations, I guess. Play stupid games etc etc. Also, I have a '15 pilot and I'm fairly certain you can leave the car running and lock the doors with the fob while outside of the car. Would be surprised if it that's not the same case with your car.
It's actually common (at least in Ohio) that the car will most likely be totaled when found.
Yes, but it still doesn't make it the victim's fault it got stolen. It was the fault of the person who chose to take something that is not his.
It's a solution to a problem nobody had and you can see how it can get taken of advantage of by criminals.I really don't get the point of all this push-button start/key fob stuff. Like, what was the issue with putting your key in the ignition? What problem was being solved here?
Legit question.
That's your mistake OP, always hate it when people leave their cars running. Hopefully they find it.

Remember when people were breaking into cars with a tennis ball and "hotwiring" them by putting a screwdriver in the ignition and just turning it? Good times.You only fucked up by not locking the doors which honestly can happen to anyone. I can't believe stealing cars is still this easy in this day and age.

convenience, duh. no need to touch or handle a key.I really don't get the point of all this push-button start/key fob stuff. Like, what was the issue with putting your key in the ignition? What problem was being solved here?

this. my friends car was stolen for a quick joyride and the description afterward was not pretty. engine was wrecked, wheels and tires, suspension, trim interior and exterior, all damaged. his insurance classified it as totaled, even though it was not crashed. all in just a few hours.

...it doesn't absolve the owner of negligence/responsibility in the matter, either. It was definitely the OPs fault that the car was so easily stolen.
Did you think the car was just going to turn off if it gets too far from your key fob? That would be a dangerous and stupid feature.
Yes. Yes you can lock the door with the car running. It's affectionately called "police mode." Every fob has a physical key in it for situations where you need to get into the vehicle if the fob isn't allowing you access. This is why you still have key holes in the doors and trunk.

You lock the doors with the physical latch(not the electronic switch) and then use the key to lock the driver's door. To unlock, you break out the key again.
That does not make it his fault it was stolen. Do you people blame the woman when she gets raped cause she wore a skirt? I mean she made it "easy". /s
Point is the fault when some one does something they should not do is 100 percent on them. They are the ones who chose to take something that is not theirs. Just cause it was easy was absolutely no fucking excuse. It's not theirs, they should not take it. People should be able to trust other people. Just cause they cannot does not make them at fault for the person being untrustworthy.
