Well I'm glad I'm not the only one. It's worked perfectly for the two weeks I've owned the truck until yesterday. I wonder if the hood sensor or something is acting funky.

got mule?
Same thing has happened to me in the past two weeks. Worked fine since we bought it, now it's hit n miss. The lock button on the remote isn't working every time either. The truck is 6 months old, maybe the battery in the remote is dying. I bet it's the cheapest cell they could put in there so it could be half dead.

Mine did it if I turned the truck off inadvertently without putting the truck in park. Like everyone else said a key start will fix a lot of things.
Also like ONTF221 said going into the menu and turning if off and back on can work too. I had my memory seats not work and turning if off and back on worked for me. It's worth a shot.
Good Luck!

Silly question.
Have you replaced any of your internal lights with LEDs?
When I intiially replaced my Front map lights with LEDs (crappy quality ones) my auto start would trigger the 'door open' response.
Figured the LEDs were the issue as when I replaced with stock bulbs... it worked again.
Got a better setof LEDs and tried the auto-start... no issues.
Just tossing this out there *** a scenario I went through and if it helps... all the better.
