Hi,
I was sitting in my 2012 Sonic LTZ tonight waiting for a friend to come home. My key was in the ignition, but in the off position, and the radio was still on, so it hadn't been 10 minutes yet to turn it off automatically.
The car attempted to start while I was playing solitaire on my phone, spluttered, died, and after a few seconds, did the same thing again. I didn't have the app up to remote start the car (and haven't in several days), the buttons to remote start the car haven't been used since it was cold several days ago, and I wasn't anywhere near touching the key remote, either.
I assume it is an issue with either the battery in the remote, the starter or ignition switch, or possibly a person with a remote on the same frequency?
Has anyone else ever heard of this? I've read a few things on the internet but wondered if there were any particular problem associated with the Sonic.
Thanks so much...I really am not crazy!
