Truck starts on its own

I've got remote start on my Ford Escape. You have to hit the lock button first, then the start button 2 times within a few seconds for it to start. I'm not sure on it's range yet? Have not tested that.

But, one time I looked at my driveway camera and the back hatch was open. I did have the key fob in my pocket, but you have to hit that button 2 times too?

So, dunno...

Good luck! Mitch

I came out of Lowes the other day and my truck was running, and wondered how I managed to hit the start button twice in my back pocket.

People pocket dial their phones all the time. Could the keys in someones pocket have remote started the truck?

Do you have a remote start? Could it have got a signal from your remote or another source?
A friend's car alarm kept going off. She would grab pistol, go check it out. Finally discovered the cat was playing with a lost set of keys.

Loved the cat story! LOL

But yeah, I would park that puppy outside or disconnect the battery. That is just too scary.
