Car randomly turns off when I open my driver door
Hi,
I'm asking this question as I cannot find the answer in the user manual. Sometimes when I am out running errands I want to leave the car running (someone else is waiting in the car) but when I put the car in park and open the driver door, the car turns off. I could deduce this is simply what the car does if it happened every time, but it is a random occurrence... sometimes it turns off, other times it doesn't. Any thoughts on why?

I have something similar with my 2023 CX60. Software version 5.0.5.
If I stop at the mailbox to get the mail and I exit the car, sometimes the car shuts off and sometimes it doesn't. I think I always put on the parking brake and put the transmission in park.
