You've first gotta check if you're inadvertently starting the car remotely - somehow.

Christine???

Seriously, that's some scary stuff right there. People have died when sleeping above their garage from an idling car.

Really like to find out what the heck is going on in this case!

Really scary and the fact that it happen twice is really scary. I will call the dealer tomorrow morning. I called OnStar just in case they could help but they said I have to talk to their diagnostic team in the morning.

Maybe the cars mad because it wasn't driven this weekend

Keys were hanging up in the kitchen -

Mystery solved!! And it's a funny one! My daughter was a work tonight at our local hospital, when she left work @ 1:30am this morning she used her phone app to remote start what she thought was her Traverse in the hospital parking lot. Oh no! Yep she has my car on her app too and she started the Corvette instead which was some 20 miles away!

She just got home and saw our lights on (she lives across the street) and she called to see why we were up @ 2:20AM! I told her and she said.......I wondered why my car wasn't warm when I got in it". Damn kids!

Maybe you need to ask her to delete the Vette from her app?

Good thing you are not a really sound sleeper.

Glad you figured out what was going on.

Glad you solved it. I was thinking the car just wanted to be driven.

I'm glad you figured it out. Potentially pretty scary stuff, but good for a Monday morning laugh since no harm was done. I guess it's situations like this is why the car turns off after ten minutes.

Glad you figured it out, however, there have been a number of Toyota and Lexus thefts here in the SF Bay Area due to d-bags hacking into the the car's security/key fob then taking off with the car.

Maybe it's time to trade it in for an M-7. Unless you have gremlins in the garage to push on the clutch!!

I was thinking your Corvette needed to go for a ride. Kind of like my dogs when they wake me up in the middle of the night. Glad it was nothing serious. Thanks for the laugh.
