going up to the truck while the door is locked, entering the truck using passive entry, when you sit down the truck automatically is turning on, when i put my foot on the brake it turns off, then allows me to turn the truck on normally,
im not sure if this is a problem or setting... any help is appreciated.

Shouldn't happen, but would be an interesting setting. I could see reasons why that would be nice, minutes breaking turning off.

Whoa. Not normal at all.
Agree with others. Time to schedule a dealer visit.

After looking at it more it seems the remote start engages once the passive entry is hit, once in the drivers seat i can press the start button and be ready to go, but not sure what is engaging the remote start

The only thing that should engage remote start is by pressing the button twice on the key fob.

Hi @jthorn75 - We certainly understand why this would be concerning.

so i found out that my wife dropped her key between the console and the chair, when i got in and change the level of the seat it pressed the auto start button and left it engaged so when i got the key out of that spot it stopped... the fob is mangled a bit but still works. lol
