This is a correction of complaint #10263748 regarding a "Smart key" fault. I recently had the opportunity to drive a 2007 Lexus GS equipped with their "Smart key" , I. E. A key fob which can stay in your pocket and allow you to start the vehicle without requiring a key in the ignition. Similarly, I also drove a 2009 Nissan murano equipped with the same type "Smart key". I have found that both vehicles can be shut off and exited while it is inadvertently left in the "neutral" position. Although a barely audible chime rings, a driver can exit the vehicle not realizing the vehicle can free-wheel on them and if the vehicle is on any type of incline, it will begin rolling away -- possibly as they are half-way out of the car or walking away!! I am astounded that there are no "neutral safety" controls on these new vehicles. Standard key ignitions prevent the driver from removing the key in any position except "park" when they exit . . . Not so with these new "Smart key" cars!! I foresee many accidents occurring unless some correction is made in this "Smart key option" -- think of a person trying to reenter a rolling vehicle, a child in a driveway, or a car rolling into an intersection!! I don't understand how a government vehicle safety organization would overlook this serious flaw.
