Yesterday I had a medical appointment which my wife accompanied me to. She was not allowed to come inside because of the China virus situation. I asked her if she had her fob because she would have to go back to the car and wait for me, which she did. Fifteen minutes later I got a message on my iPhone that the car was running with no fob inside. I phoned my wife and she said she was in the car with the engine running which made sense because it was 105 F outside. She assured me that her fob was with her. After all, she did unlock the car, started it and was sitting in it. Fifteen minutes later I got messages sent from the BlueLink app and somewhere else stating that the car had been running for 30 minutes with no fob inside and that I should turn it off. Has anyone else experienced this strange vehicular behavior before?
Untrue "No Fob In Car" notice.

Not I, but maybe if a car is sitting idle it's a notice that gets sent so you don't burn an entire tank of gas ona car sitting there

If she had her phone next to the FOB, that can sometimes block the signal.
Had the same thing yesterday. I ran into a store, expecting to only be in there 5 minutes. It took longer. Meanwhile my wife was sitting in the car, with my FOB on the consule, running AC because it was 92. I got a text and an email.
By the way, is there anyway to set the time about getting a notice that the car is unlocked. Sometimes at home I want to leave the car unlocked because I am loading or unloading stuff. Sometimes that takes awhile. I think I get a notice after 5 or 10 mnutes that a door is unlocked.
