Found a *new* feature..
Well at least I didn’t know about it.
I pulled off in a parking lot today and got out of my car while it was running for about 30 seconds. When I got back in it to drive off I found that I forgot to put the car in park (left it in drive). The car didn’t roll forward at any time. It must have some feature that knows that you have left the car and stops it from rolling forward.

the only way i can see this happening without putting the car into park or neutral is if you turned the car off while still in drive...however, jumping out of a moving vehicle sounds more like an ID 10t error than a feature

Did you really jump out that fast? lol. 
If you leave it in drive, the car WILL go. You probably left it in Neutral. Either way, Any gear aside from Park, the car will give off a very loud constant "BEEP" once you open the door, to tell you to put the car in park. Did you have earplugs on?

I've been distracted before, put the emergency break on, left the car in drive and tried to turn off the engine...
Let's just say that the car wasn't too happy and threw a fit worse than a 4 year old in a grocery store checkout lane!
a) The car won't turn off
b) You get a flashing warning in the instrument cluster and the multi-display
c) If you thing the "fast" seatbelt buzzer is annoying and LOUD...
Let just say I'll never do that again.
