THIS VEHICLE HAS BEEN UNKNOWINGLY REMOTE STARTED TWICE (ONCE IN AN ATTACHED GARAGE) SIMPLY BY HAVING THE FOB IN MY POCKET AND BENDING OVER FOR SOMETHING AS SIMPLE AS TYING SHOES. PANIC ALARM HAS BEEN ACTIVATED SEVERAL TIMES BY SIMILAR NORMAL ACTIONS. THESE BUTTONS SHOULD BE RECESSED TO PROTECT FROM UNINTENTIONAL ACTIVATION.
