On both of my STs (2022, now 2024), I've had this problem where the fob against my other keys in pocket sometimes opens the lift gate. Not often, 3 or 4 times now but I'm not aware of it if I'm indoors. I've have been so lucky so far and nothing has been stolen. It happened again today. I know it is from the keys pressing against the fob while in my pocket. Any way to turn that feature off at the fob. I never use it to open the lift gate anyway. I only open from the back at the lift gate itself. I see where you can disable it in settings but that takes away opening from lift gate itself. I tried one of those zip up enclosures for the fob but still happens. Any recommendations? Thanks.

The few times it happened to me, the FordPass app had a notification message that it was open. Sometimes the panic alarm can go off too, in the same way, when in my pocket.
