My 2008 Maxima engine has started by itself 3 times in the last 10 days. I took it in to the dealer but they could not duplicate the problem. Has anyone else had this issue? The first time I considered that I may have been scatterbrained but the other two times I am positive that I turned off the engine. My car has the keyless start and if I walk away from the car with the key and the engine is on it will beep at me. The car did not beep so I know that the engine was off, yet when I have returned my car is locked but running.

 

Did you have the key fob in your pocket and it was pressed by accident?

 

Your car is just letting you know it want more drive time

you obviously have a defective key fob, defective "brain/module"or you are activating it from your pocket. the only option you have is to replacing each one until the problem stops. i would suggest gutting the stock stuff and buy an aftermarket viper alarm/remote start.

 

I've never heard a car starting on it's own but my assumptions is the push start ignition is sending a positive signal or your car has a mind of it's own. My car use to lock on it's own and the windows would wind up but it stopped. Electrical is a b*#@h and diagnosing is a pain in the rear

 

 

Do you have an aftermarket remote start installed?
