There's something wrong with that, and your dealer doesn't know how to deal with it. Every car we either rented or owned in Europe for decades had the feature, and never once did that happen.

Off topic, but another feature those European cars had was that they held on a hill. Growing up in Pittsburgh (one hill after another), I would have been a really happy camper with that feature.
