I would start by checking the switch. From there check anywhere the wires move-like in the rubber boot between the body and rear hatch door. Make sure the button on the remote is not sticking.

:shrug: That was my 1st thought too...

Could be easily tested by simply removing the batteries from the remote and seeing if it still happens. But he said this happens sometimes when driving - IIRC the remotes are disabled when the vehicle's ignition is on, correct? So that would mean it would almost have to be the dashboard switch, yes?

Maybe he parks near an old Indian burial ground?

Old post but...

I have the same problem; sometimes the window will go down by itself. I don't think it's the fob because the window won't open when I press the window button. But I turned my back on it today and found out it was open. Also, came out one morning and it was open in my driveway. (not good) Does anyone know why the back window would open on its own?
Thanks,
Tom
