Siri turns on by itself

I have a wierd thing happen to my iPhone. On my way to work at the same point almost everyday, my radio start crackling from my phone and then Siri activates without me doing anything. Doers anyone else have this issue with siri just turning on by itself? My phone is not in my pocket just on my console. I do have it connected to bluetooth in the car.

iPhone 4S, iOS 5

my husband and I both have iPhones,mine 6 his 5 both on iOS 8+ And both have bursts of Siri without even touching the phones. I think it's a glitch in the IOS since it happens to so many people with out even touching them And in different situations. I wish apple would fix it and the wifi not staying connected. Sometimes I have to refresh my wifi or turn off my phone multiple times a day.

Disabling "Hey, Siri" won't work for me. I'm on an iPhone6, running iOS 8.2, and I've had "Hey, Siri" disconnected since day one. Yet, out of the blue, it started turning on today (with the expected "What the---" response from me. There's no conversation or music in the area, the phone's been sitting for hours, and it is not plugged in. Sigh. Foiled on all fronts.


I went ahead and power cycled the phone. It seems fine at the moment, but time will tell. I use Siri all the time and would like to keep doing so, but I will disable it if this keeps up. This soooooo needs to be fixed.

Mine turns on in the middle of the night and starts talking when everyone is asleep and there isn't even any background noise. Last night at about 3:25am it came on saying "That's a good question." When I looked at the screen, it had the question "Why?" that Siri was responding to. Where in the world did this come from. I even have my Siri set to where I have to push and hold the home button for it to even work. So it's weird.

I Have the same problem for 2 days, and because Siri kept activating while I was trying to sleep it wasn't just annoying but creepy too! I didn't have enabled the "Hey Siri" option neither, So I decided to turn off Siri... Siri didn't came back since, but "Voice Control" took over its place and doing the same **** thing: turning on and off by itself every 5-10 minutes!!! Is there anyone else with this?

Mine turned on last night at 340 am and said something like "why would someone shoot themdelves in the head twice" I was sleeping so it woke me up and I caught the tail end of it and hey Siri is off. I was watching tv and fell asleep I rewound the tv 2 min and the tv show said something about shooting in the head twice but nothing close to hey Siri. It's weird all by itself while I was slerping
