They are all like this, only the aftermarket remote starts will allow access to the vehicle without shutting off, frustrating as it may be.

A lot of Push to start vehicles are like this. Many of them shut down when you open the door and do not offer a take over procedure. Probably due to a few reasons...
1. Security of not having someone by your vehicle after its been remote started
2. If the vehicle reads two key at the same time, a lot of vehicles don't like this and will sometimes deprogram the systems (i've seen this a lot in fords)

Just because they shut off does not mean they "suck" they do the intended job that they were supposed to do. Even if you use the oem enform remote start it does the same thing.
