If you have a remote start feature it could be a problem with one of the key fobs. Remove the battery from the fobs, for testing purposes, and see if the problem goes away. Another rare occurrence is if a neighbor has a similar truck as you your truck may be starting when they activate their remote start feature. This actually happened to my Sister a few years ago! Hope that helps! Jim
