That happened over here a few months ago. It was caused by a ham radio repeater.

today's update:
The head-scratching mystery behind shoppers finding themselves locked out of their cars at a Perth shopping centre appears close to a resolution.
They had to wait for close of business to test they had found the culprit. That sounds very much like a router or POS device to me, the only things that could hinder a business when they go down.MY16 NX GLX5 with just a few bits added. MY14 D-max spacecab, also with a few bits added.

and they want to bring in driverless cars....yeah right. If that can happen to a simple key system, imagine the potential when a car is driverless.2015 NX GLS, Factory alloy bar, Kings HD Springs & Koni Shocks with 50mm lift, MM Auto Mate, Paddle shift kit, dual batteries with Redarc DC/DC, LRA 58L tank, Safari snorkel, Boo's bash plates (full set), 17" steels with BFG KO2's, Drifta drawers with slide, TPMS, Uniden UH8080S, Alpine iLX-702D head unit.

most cars that use RF chips used to have a metal emergency key in the fob - its normally just a little blade that slides into a pocket it seems many are canning that idea now1994 NJ 3.0 now with a 2000NL 3.5 engine and driveline, 2.5 catback, 32" MT Deegan 38's, 1" body lift, front diff drop with front tension rods indexed and cranked an 3", 3" on the rear coils

When key-less entry systems and immobilisers were first becoming common in the early 1990's similar problems were a common occurrence at the Telstra Tower carpark at Black Mountain in Canberra. Happened to us in a Camry we had hired, it just wouldn't start until we were far enough away. I later discovered that the souvenir shop had a space blanket that they would wrap around the steering wheel to make a Faradaic cage so people could start their cars.

There's another problem with cars which don't require you to insert a key to start, as long as the key is in the car it's fine.....but.....
I was driving my wife's Mazda and had the key in my pocket. She was in the passenger seat and I was going to visit a friend and when we got there, I got out, she changed to the drivers side and away she went. No problem until.....it's one of there's new models and it turns off when you stop at the traffic lights. So she's on a major road, in the right turn lane and the car turns off and there's no way it will start again without the key.
You can imagine the phone call I got.2015 NX GLS, Factory alloy bar, Kings HD Springs & Koni Shocks with 50mm lift, MM Auto Mate, Paddle shift kit, dual batteries with Redarc DC/DC, LRA 58L tank, Safari snorkel, Boo's bash plates (full set), 17" steels with BFG KO2's, Drifta drawers with slide, TPMS, Uniden UH8080S, Alpine iLX-702D head unit.

Yep, that's what I thought too. Obviously in a Mazda, you only need the key to start it.2015 NX GLS, Factory alloy bar, Kings HD Springs & Koni Shocks with 50mm lift, MM Auto Mate, Paddle shift kit, dual batteries with Redarc DC/DC, LRA 58L tank, Safari snorkel, Boo's bash plates (full set), 17" steels with BFG KO2's, Drifta drawers with slide, TPMS, Uniden UH8080S, Alpine iLX-702D head unit.

My Fiesta ST (now gone) behaved the same way.
I had an EL Falcon until recently. Before I sold it, I could park in either 1 of 2 ninety-degree parking spaces out of about 15 in this section of the street right behind my work and I could guarantee that my keyless remote wouldn't work. There was something nearby / under the road surface / bouncing off the nearby building that rendered it useless and forced me to use the key each time. Worked perfectly everywhere else.
