[@pointofdefensewithjohncrawford]

Can you answer a couple of quick questions for me? When I did the remote start, I got in my car and it was running but nothing worked. A light came on and said to put my foot on the break and start to start the car. Do I have to re start it again? It was already started. In addition, I noticed that my "miles left to empty numbers" were really dropping fast along with the gas gauge. They went from 186 to 176 miles left to empty in about 30 minutes after a trip to town and back. Could this be a sensor problem? Maybe gas could be leaking? what is going on? Im taking it back to CarMax tomorrow, but have to drive an hour and a half. Thanks

[@The570Experience]

First of all...NEVER buy a car from carmax...I can tell you've never owned a car with automatic start before..because that's normal...every car you start with the remote...you have to " activate" when you get it...its to prevent theft..so nobody can drive away with your already started car...it verifies that you have the key..and it tells you to hold the brake down and push start...no it does not start the car again. It turns it on...the other problem you're having is why you should never buy a car from CARMAX

[@The570Experience]

It reclines some yes...I always put a blanket in there with her and she would just lay down when she got tired

[@johnathanbusha8919]

The miles to empty may be falling because you're turning the engine on. I dont know how long you let it run, but its just sitting there using up gas and the computer calculates that in the mpg which will affect the miles to empty.
