Do you have the right key? If started with a key made, and not a programmed transponder key, it will not stay running when started..

These are computerized and the keys are chipped so you can't just change it the ignition and key it needs don't by dealer.. if you put a key not pair with the car the computer sits it down with thought that's its stolen.. it's safety precaution so no one can go far..
