In the last month, I have gone into my garage to find my 2021 MME running then again today when parked outside in another city. Has anyone else found there MME running?

Check the auto shutoff in settings. The car is supposed to shutdown after 30 minutes unless the setting is turned off. My guess, and that’s all it is, is that there’s a possibility it was inadvertently left running. That’s easy to do. You might want to check for scheduled departure times as well in the chance one (or more) are set up that you forgot about.

Otherwise I have no other ideas about it. Others will certainly chime in though.

Thanks for your response.
The auto timer shutdown was engaged. The car was locked and I know of no way to leave car running, locked, without leaving the key inside and using the keypad to lock doors. If I walk away with key and cr running, it will blow horn. My F150 will let me leave it running, lock and take key.

You made me to check settings again. After updates, I have had settings changed and one such setting was departure setting that was set for Sunday at 9:00 am.

Thanks again for your assistance

Not related, but we had a Gradall G3WD truck mounted hydraulic excavator that had one engine for upper and lower segments. One day, as it sat in its covered parking space, it decided to start all by itself. Really spooked the people standing near it. Turned out to be corrosion in a cannon plug.

Do you use the remote start from your phone?

I had been using it lately and noticed that it'd leave the banner up top of the app with a +15 button. No big deal right? Except I remote started the car at 8am, drove to several different places and then came home and garage the car hours later. I opened the app and the banner was still there. For fun I hit +15 and the car sure enough started up again. I appears this was fixed in a version of FP released this weekend as the banner now dismisses it's self once.
