23 Maverick self starting unattended

[BobL]

On 2 occasions. My Mav has started up unattended in the driveway. The key fob was 25 ‘ away. Has this happened to anyone else. It scares me that it might do this in the garage when it is closed.

Are you sure you turned it off when you got out of the vehicle last time? Maybe you accidentally left it on because it was in electric mode?

Maybe someone in your home is messing with the Fordpass app and remote starting it on you?

My car alarm goes off from time to time from my pocket. I have like 10 keys.

 

[BobL]

Yes, and the doors were locked

try removing the battery from the fob and see if it still starts.

YES! WHAT I WANT = auto start when 12v battery drops to 11.9v with almost all 12v turned off the ice won't cycle on enough to matter. In the winter mine might cycle four times every 4th day and in summer every 8-10 days. We could call it lonesome dove or airport mode!

People concerned with fires and/or carbon monoxide poisoning kind of frown on this.

What if a rat or bird builds a straw nest under your tailpipe or similar?

Might be a slight chance. Not too worried about carbon monoxide as the ice cycling most likely couldn't occur often enough. Either could be a problem just remote starting even.

This happened once with my ram when I was outside to witness it.i got the fob from inside the house and turned the truck off. It happened a second time when my fob was laying on the seat inside the truck.turns out my second fob was in a pocket of pants I had tumbling in the dryer!

Make sure you didn't add an auto start schedule on the app.

Put your FOB in a Faraday cover to see if it still occurs. Could it be a software problem?
