"It was federally mandated that these cars had to be put into reverse before being turned off. The consequences of not putting the car in reverse, is that the electronic circuits are left open and the battery drains. Ask anyone who owns one what they think of this. The good news is that this car is backed by a great warranty and a call to the 800 number sends a two truck over for a boost. GM had so much of this going on that they lobbied the federal government to change the legislation. Which they did."
