I bought a 2016 JKU Sport on 1-4-19 it has 21k miles on it. Yesterday my daughter said your granddaughter started your Jeep by playing with the remote key fob. Told her I didn't realize it had remote start!

Well now since yesterday it has started 3 times on it's own without touching the remote. Has anyone else had this happen?

This sounds like something is shorting out the starter maybe. Might make a quick visual inspection and see if anything looks out of place right around the starter.

Good thing is that it hasn't done it anymore since the weekend.
Yes I quit drinking a long time ago...LOL

Well. There's your problem.

Did you verify there wasn't anything close to your starter that might have been accidentally shorting it out?

It hasn't done it anymore so......not thinking anymore about it

Let me clarify....of course I'm watching very close. I will never forget about it.
What I meant was I'm not stressing out about it as much. If it happens again
I will take it to a dealer while it's still under warranty. Thanks
