it happened to me a while back. there is a button and **** right above where your right knee would be. she might have accidentally hit the switch. its basically the "activate/deactivate" button for the smart key. the **** is the adjust the volume.

cheers

Did you perhaps accidently switch your key with the valet key? My valet acts exactly like you describe.
