Key Fob??

Got in the car, hatch opened as soon as my butt hit the seat, car wouldn't crank.Closed the hatch, same thing happened. Did 4 times same thing.I know some people complain their leg hits the switch, not it. Closed hatch then started with fob remote and it started. Worked normal after that. 2014 Stingray 2lt, new car battery last year and new fob battery, any idea?

Is it possible that something else in your pocket pushed the hatch button on the fob? I've occasionally set off one of the car alarms when I have a fob in my pocket.

Funny, mine opened up yesterday when I got in. Had to climb out and close it. Had to be something in my pocket was my guess.

Just had to replace a "Lost" fob & key, $370. for the part and programing. They must be made of Gold.

could have ordered the fob online for around $120 and the programming steps are in your owners manual.

THe programming for the FOB is also on this forum with MANY very important tips and suggestions that are not covered in the Owner's manual.

Have had this happen many times..getting into car and the rear hatch pops. I think it is due to the fact that I have two fobs and two regular keys on one “key chain”. A couple of months ago I got one of those neoprene fob covers and it has significantly cut down on the frequency.
