My Emira wants to be out driving so much, it doesn't want to shut the engine down

So, my Emira, twice now, has decided it wants to keep running when I turn it off.

I press the start/stop button, and the engine RPM's drop very low - don't know how low, because tachometer is off, but the engine is turning and shaking the car, like it's running on a couple of cylinders. It eventually (10-15s later) turns off completely.

Weird. I hope it's not the sign of something bad.

Hopefully you're using quality fuel. Have you checked for any OBD codes with a code reader? Either case it's under warranty I would contact service.

Is your engine stock? No tune? CAI or headers?
