Concern 1 as a female it is a safety issue to be stranded in my vehicle, recently what I thought was a battery issue turned out to be a key fob issue. I have been stranded with a well cared for vehicle that has keys that start and get to destination, but have gotten back in my vehicle and the car does not recognize the fob. Concern 2 I have noticed that the cruise control is automatically coming on, and I have to manually turn it off, there have been times when I was not aware until until I took foot off accelerator and the car still traveled at the cruise speed, tapping the brake did not disengage the cruise setting.
