Default My car is freaking out!

I have a 06 3LT with nav system. I will start the car, pull it out of the garage, get out to close the garage door and when I get back into the car the radio sound is coming out of the speakers, but the radio was never turned on. The other day, I stopped for gas with the radio turned off, turned the car off, gassed up, and when I got back in the cd player was playing? Has any one else had these issues? If so, what corrected the problem. Of course, the car is now out of warranty.

just to make sure:
You turned the car OFF and when you got back in the car the audio was ON but the car is still OFF?

I left the running when I got out to close the garage door, and I turned the car off when I went to pump the gas. I think the car is possessed!

thats why I need to be clear. IF the car was turned OFF and he came back and the car's audio is ON without starting the car then there is a bigger problem.

Fist thing is make sure that you have the right numbered FOB in your pocket when you drive and the other FOB is not around the car at all. Then make sure that once you are in the car, that you do not use the seat position buttons and see if this still happens.

Thanks for the info. My #1 fob battery recently went dead and I have been using the #2 fob. I will be putting the car away for the winter at the end of this weekend, so I will get the new battery for the fob and then check it out. Thanks again and happy holidays!
