Fob Left in the Car Honk

[piranha971]

All my "key fob left in the car" notifications are turned off and the damn thing still honks half the time I get out of the car with the fob in my pocket and at times even when I am in the car hitting the start button. Driving me fn insane. Is anyone else experiencing this?

So annoying and embarrassing! Mine does it occasionally, too. Although it seems to happen less often than when new.

Yeah I've gotten it a few times after closing the trunk then walking around to the driver's side. Not enough to be frustrating but it does surprise me when it happens.

Me too, occasionally.

Also, the settings randomly reset themselves, like seat vibration for the parking sensors, mirror tilt, etc. Nothing major, but annoying. Sometimes the settings show as changed (and I change them back) other times not, so I change them twice to "reset" and that usually works.

That's when I stop referring to it as the Cadillac of cars and start calling it the Chevy.

Never had that happen that I can remember. First thing I would do is change the battery on the FOB.

I've encountered it about 5 times in 45k miles. Not sure why but it's infrequent enough to not worry about.

Wow a virginal Blackwing! Enjoy, Don

There is a tsb on this. Basically stating it's normal, but with a way to stop it. #PIT6401 6/16/25
