Car starting by itself when no one in it and fob is not nearby

Asked by Tina Sep 08, 2019 at 04:31 PM about the 2018 Hyundai Santa Fe Sport

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

I've had my vehicle 10 months
now.  During this time my vehicle
has started by itself 3 times.  My
fob is not nearby when this has
occurred nor does my fob have a
start button for me to accidentally
press to result in my car starting.  
The dealership has no idea what it
could be.  Please help, any
suggestions on what could be
causing this problem and what I
need to have done to correct it?
