Tried 'Open driver side door, leave key to '2' position and wait' trick but won't turn off.

Before I hit it back to the dealer, just like to ask folks that if this sounds right or not?

If I bring it to different garage, can they tell if the brake pad were replaced back in two years ago?

How often do you guys replace your break linings?

TIA.
Where in Seattle are you located? I come back quite often (Edmonds and Medina), so if you're a DYI'er, maybe I can come help ya out.
