My neighbor did the same thing when he heard my car this summer. He came over and and said he heard the fun running on my car and that he thought I left it running.
, but thats really one of the only reasons the fan would stay on abnormally

If the temp is high when shutting it off or spike afterwards its not abnormal for the fan to come on with the car off. They can come on at any tiime

I stand corrected... I was thinking of my old car...
I do know that my fan DOES shut off with the engine, because I was using it with a power inverter and the fan would come on every few minutes and then if I shut it off the fans shut off right away.
Sorry for the confusion, but I do know that other cars do this. Most likely, it is a relay of some sort that would make it turn on after the car has been shut off but it may be possible that it is normal.
