Electrical Jack Problems of Chevrolet Traverse

Was driving from nyc to toronto. We stopped 3 hours after for bathroom break and lunch. I did not leave the car therefore the car remained on. Drove for another 2 hours and stopped for a bathroom break at junius ponds travel plaza around 330pm. Turned off the car and thats when we realized we drove without the key. This is in the middle of winter with children in the car. We called onstar and chevy but they could not assist in anyway. My parents had to drive to us to give us they key. It took them over 6 hours because it was rush hour. Imagine 6 hours being stranded with kids. Luckily we were at a rest stop with food, bathroom and most importantly heat. It turned out while my husband was busy packing up the car, he had switched into his winter jacket leaving his sweatshirt behind which that keys were in. The car was in park in our driveway. We drove off and there were no notifications. We even stopped at startbucks and put the car in park again. This is a major safety issue as this will make it easy for theft and risks the safety and health of the people in the car. Can you imagine if we had stopped at a place that did not have heat. Onstar only allows 2 remote engine start then it will tell you that the car engine has to be manually turned on before using the remote start again. Im not talking about if a child accidentally throws the keys out the window in the middle of the highway and the car should turn off. Im suggesting that the car should not be allowed to move from parking if the key is not in the vehicle. Imagine driving 5 hours 300+ miles away from the key and no warning.

I experienced a flat tire on my 2010 Chevrolet Traverse lt. Afetr safly pulling off the road and geting the jack and such ready I lowered the spare tire. After 3 hours and 3 people attempting to release the spare tire I decided to have the vehicle towed to the dealership where I purchased the car. The release lever would not let the tire free. Getting my spare tire down should not be that hard.
