 Description of the problemI came out of my house on friday morning (09/26/2014) to find my van parked in my carport with the engine running. Apparently my car had started the engine and ran for about 20 minutes by itself with no human interaction, this is strange because i do not have a remote starter and it does not have the ability to start on its own. As i approached the car i could see that there was no key in the ignition and that the doors were still locked. I have 2 key fobs, both were in my possession, and using one of the key fobs i was able to unlock the drivers door. There was no sign of forced entry, i am the only one living at my residence and no one else had access to the car keys. I found the ignition switch was in the off position so i inserted the key fob and turned it to the on position an back to the off position several times but the engine continued running. I called the dealership that sold me the vehicle and talked with 2 different service technicians but neither one could offer an explanation. They asked me to bring the vehicle in for service, which i did and i am currently waiting on the disposition. After i got off the phone with the service technician the car stopped running and i was then able to use the key fob to turn on the ignition and to start and stop the vehicle normally. I have owned the van about 3 months and prior to this event i noticed that my power door locks were open sometimes after i had left the car locked. Up until this incident i had assumed that i accidently mashed the unlock button on my key fob while it was in my pants pocket, but now i am not so sure.
