This happened to me this morning. I just had the TSB performed for the alarm randomly going off. However it went away after about 30 seconds and I was able to start the Jeep.

EDIT: It was a key not detected message, the Jeep was off when I got it.

Mine will alert if you move a few inches left of the steering wheel. On the other hand, I don't recall having to cycle the ignition to clear the message. The transponder for the key is a lil below your radio.

I have a question...left the Jeep running this morning with the key in my pocket and when I came back, I was getting a chime and the "Key has Left Vehicle" message on EVIC. The only way to reset was to shut the vehicle off and re-start. Is this the expected behavior? I did a quick search of the Owner's Manual and couldn't find anything...

As I stated above, I've never had to cycle the ignition after returning with key in hand regardless if use the button on the door handle or leave the vehicle unlocked.

I have walked away and left it running several times. The chime and message do come on but stop as I re-open the door. I have never had to re-start it to clear the message/chime.
