I have no issues with it. I never leave it in gear, unless its parked uphill or downhill (which is really rare anyways as I never park on a hill). I run the viper 5901 and I have remote start. It snows here but I dont drive it in the winter so no need to really remote start to warm it. I also dont use it much anyways unless I feel the need to warm the engine after its been sitting for a while so that when I get to my car I can just stick my key in and drive it right away.
