Unhappy 2016 RX 350 troubleshoot - Engine auto turns on/off

Hey everyone,

Newly minted owner of a gently used 2016 RX 350, premium package w/ nav. Love the vehicle, but all of a sudden noticed the following:

After turning the vehicle off, I exit, and press the lock button on the key fob. Sometimes, but not always, the car will turn back on (which is mildly concerning) - then, I approach the vehicle, open the door, and it turns off (at this point, most of the lights on the instrument panel flash a few times).

Has anyone encountered this before? or, any idea where I should go with this?

Thanks

Sounds like you are activating the remote start. How long are you holding down the lock button?

Seems like remote start. Is it a Canadian Car? If it is it is most likely and aftermarket feature that the previous owner installed.
