At that point I would think the handshaking with the FOB is done. It’s almost as if the FOB coming in proximity to the car is missing a check of some sort and it’s shutting it off.

Hmm I just realized that I always have my phone and the card with me as well. Both of those are linked to the car. So three rfid sources on me that are able to start the car. Could that be it?!

I should try an experiment.
Would be surprised if it was interference/overload with multiple devices communicating with the car's electronics. But eliminate the other RF signal sources and see what happens.
