Car has tried to start on its own

Hi,

That is the first time I heard of this type of issue. Does the vehicle have a remote starter? If it does, is it an aftermarket system or from the manufacturer?

When you say you hear it try to start, do you actually hear the starter engage? I'm asking because the starter switch isn't where the key inserts. So, that is confusing me a bit. There could be an issue with the switch where it's shorting internally.

Regardless, let me know about the remote starter. Also, let me know as many details as possible. For example, it does it only happen when the engine is warm.

Let me know.

Hi,

They never got back to me. Does your vehicle have a remote start? Also, does it only happen when the key is in the vehicle? Does it have to be in the ignition?

Let me know about the remote starter. If it is an aftermarket one, something may have been wired wrong or failing.

Also, the starter relay may be failing, or an issue could be coming from the body control module. You may want to switch the relay to see if it may be the problem. It is in the under-hood fuse box. See pic below.

I have one more question. Does the vehicle actually start or does the starter just engage?

Let me know.
