Bronco started by ITSELF!

[TigerBronco]

Sitting outside today, about 40 feet from my 2021 FE, key in the house, when the vehicle started all by itself! Wife and I both observed this and asked each other if we had done something.

Checked the key in the house and it was hanging, securely in the key box. I didn’t have the app open either.

Anybody else ever had this happen? Could have been seriously dangerous if this had happen in our garage.

@Ford Motor Company ever hear of this?

Did you accidentally schedule a start on the app?

Either that or your Bronco is named Christine.

Nope. Literally had the phone in my head and the app was closed. Really strange

This is why all these connected vehicles will end badly for all of us. Just wait until the government decides you have driven too much in a week and then won’t start bc of muh climate change

Didn’t even know you could schedule a start.

If you have an Apple Watch it can be started from that too.

Had forgotten about that. Definitely had the watch on but not aware that gloves of clothing were activating things on my watch (have had that happen before). However, you have to press and hold, either the watch or phone app, to start. Seems unlikely I did that but, possible I suppose.
