Equinox does not shut down or restarts itself

Looked and have not seen a similar post but if there is one please move this.
A little background. We have an enclosed garage so we always leave the key in the console. On occasions when we shut down, the car will not shut down. I go to the vehicle off screen and turn off. Sometimes I have to do that twice. On really rare occasions, and today was one of them, I put the car in park and opened the door. Car did not shut down. Manually turned it off. Closed the door and by the time I got to the back of the car, it turned back on again. Went and manually turned it off, and it turned back on. After 3 additional times I took the key inside and the car remained off.
Totally random, so I'm not sure if I could get it to duplicate at the dealer. Anyone have a similar situation or a suggestion?

Thanks.

If you turn the car off, does the car ready icon on the driver display turn green? If not, the car is off. Doesn't matter if the displays are on or off.
Yes, the car ready is on, along with climate control, radio, lights, everything.
A few weeks ago I pulled out of the garage to wash the car. Didn't even realize it was on until I was washing the front and realized the headlights were on.
No, I did ot turn on the keep on control.

Some behavior seen on other Ultium vehicles is if you have your foot on the brake while you open the door the vehicle will remain on.
That does make sense. I will pay attention next time and see if that resolved it.
Thank you.
