What radio do you have? The Uconnect system is capable of being hacked and there is an update/recall out for our cars(Challenger RT owner as well).

Uconnect



How's it being hacked in a field by itself in the country?

I'm assuming you don't know how hacking works thinking that it being in it's own field means anything.

I know how hacking works. I also know how hackers work. What's the point of hacking a car no one has access to?

If I remember correctly, you have a 2010 deep water blue RT right? You aren't in the recalled list but if they can hack the new Uconnect, chances are they can hack yours as well

It's a Dodge. Just be glad it isn't smoking with 4 flats when you walk out.

Press the remote start button on the key fob and make sure it has that popping feel to it. If it doesn't, that's your culprit. I have a ram with that same style of key fob and the contact for the remote start button was messed up...truck kept starting itself.

It's a little dome shaped piece inside the key fob under each button - it can come loose and once it's loose even a light press of the button can activate remote start.

I have a Challenger and this has happened to me once also. One of the guys at work told me my car was running in the parking lot. i thought he was messing with me. I went out there and low and behold my care is idling in the parking lot. I t has never happened again, but it was weird.

IF its remote started, it won't run longer than 9 or 10 mins before shutting off and it can't be started again by remote if it reaches the time limit.

The car has become self-aware.

It is clearly planning to leave you. Don't make this any worse than it already is.

Buy a Hyundai and consider yourself lucky.

It's a Fiat, see if there is a RMA option like on the Ram's.
