Where was the key fob in my Mazda 3?
This happened to me a few days ago. The key fob was in the front center console area (in that tiny spot big enough for a cell phone) in the Mazda 3 (2015) and after forgetting it was there and shutting the door, I too was locked out. I had to call AAA and of course with the heatwave, this was not a pleasant experience during a road trip.

The engine was not on.
Can a Mazda lock you out of the car?
Mazda says the car should never lock if the key fob is in the car and the engine is off but that’s obviously not true. I’ve been locked out and had the car refuse to start so I don’t trust my car anymore. My dealership checked everything, changed all batteries but has no idea why this happens.
