Okay. I decided to make a detailed post about this. I had this exact same thing happen to me two days ago right after I got home on my 2017 Camaro 1LT

I HAVE NO OTHER ELECTRONICS IN MY CAR BESIDES WHAT CAME FACTORY. NO RADAR DETECTOR, NO GARAGE DOOR OPENER, ONLY MY CELL PHONE WHICH IS RUNNING ANDROID AUTO AND PLUGGED INTO THE CAR NEAR SITTING IN THE CUP HOLDER.

I pulled into my driveway
I put the car in park
I enaged the parking brake
I tried to turn the car off, when I pressed the button, nothing happened. I waited then pressed it again...still NOTHING...The car would not shut OFF...waited a moment and suddenly without me doing anything it finally shuts off.
I was baffled by the above then I got a message on the display saying it didn't detect a key. I tried to start it...nothing. I tried to unlock and lock with my fob...still nothing.
I called road side in preparation to have my car towed and they told me about the cup holder. I put the key in the rear cup holder and it started up but I still could not use the fob to lock or unlock the doors.
I drove it to the dealer and they said there was a technical service bulletin out to replace the door sensor so they did that and it worked again..So far the issue hasn't repeated but that's what I experienced.
