Mine doesn't do that either. I stopped buying cars once I got old, and have leased my last two cars. I'm due to turn this one in soon. I'm going to make sure the next one I lease doesn't have that feature. I hate the push button start on these cars though, and no CD players. The main thing I need in a car is power seats and a seat belt that doesn't require me to reach too far back with my left arm to grab it and pull forward. I have a very bad left shoulder (my dominant arm). They told me I need a full shoulder replacement, however I'm not willing to take the chance of losing all use of the arm if it doesn't work.
You are so decrepit, just like me. ;-D Nobody ever told me that growing old hurts everywhere.
