(8,646 posts)My ex-husband had an old childhood friend and his whole family die from CO poisoning in the same manner - a car started up in the garage and they were all found dead in their beds the next day.
My remote starter for my old vehicle (Pontiac, 2002) had a large 'start' button that I always seemed to press accidentally. That vehicle stayed running for about 25 min w/each start. Thankfully, we got rid of it about the same time as we bought a house with an attached garage.
My newer vehicle (Chev, 2006) has a feature where you have to hold down one button for 3 seconds and then hold the other button down for 3 seconds before the vehicle will start so it's hard to do it without intent. And it won't stay running for longer than 10 minutes. And you can't use the remote start more than twice in a row. I'm surprised this vehicle stayed running. I wonder how long a vehicle has to run in an attached garage before it becomes dangerous?
