Elantra MD (2010-15) :: 2013 - Factory Alarm Will Start Going Off For No Reason
Having an interesting issue with my 2013 Elentra Limited ....
A couple times now the factory alarm will start going off by for no reason. This was confirmed by my neighbor, who was sitting outside when it started going off the last time with nobody around it. Also, when this happens, the alarm button the on key fob will not stop the alarm, only unlocking the car will stop it.
Also, after this happens, I can no longer set the alarm (pressing the lock button twice and hearing the car honk once) for usually at least a few hours if not a day. what happens is that i press the lock button and you hear the doors lock but if you keep hitting the lock button, the doors just keep locking, the car never honks.

My Passat alarm went off last night for no apparent reason. Car had been parked for a few days. The engine started whilst the alarm was sounding. The interior lights were flashing and the electric window stayed down and wouldn't go up. Needed to drop it to see to get the car in the barn away from the neighbours house as the windows were frosted over. Disconnected battery and the alarm finally stopped. Tonight I reconnected the battery and it locked me out. I realised later that there's a procedure to go through after reconnecting the battery but foolishly I cut the wires to the alarm, which didn't stop it. It was getting the horses in the barn wound up and I needed to stop it. What caused the initial alarm? ECU fault? It's a '99 V6 TDi.

I have an 07 Camry and the alarm keeps going off for no apparent reason. Is there anyway to reset the alarm system itself? If so how and what do I need to do? How to do this.

I've had an intermittent problem with my factory alarm going off for no reason at all. I replaced the Courtesy light switch on the driver's side hoping to stop my problem. Earlier I found the connector was barely on the button switch and after discovering that I thought the problem would stop. I feel like this car is possessed!

Last night my alarm (honnking horn, lights flashing) went off when my 07 Prius was sitting in the garage with the garage door closed. The only way to stop the alarm was to start the car and leave it running.
At 4:00 this morning it went off again. The only thing I can find amiss is that the battery icon on the main screen registered very low (two purple bars).
GTI 337/20th Anniversary :: Alarm Going Off For No Reason?
Just yesterday my alarm went off. I thought maybe it was because a cycle went by with loud pipes, but I disarmed, opened the door, re-armed and it went off again about 10 minutes later.
Last night it went off/on for about 2 hours every 10 minutes when locked and armed/disarmed. The last time I went out, disarmed it, left it unlocked and started walking away when it went off. Scared the hell outta me at 3am. What the problem could be?
Ford - Escape :: Alarm Kept Going Off For No Reason
I recently (August 2014) purchased a 2010 Ford Escape, with only 16,500 miles. I was told the previous owner had only had the car for 6 months, she had purchased it from their dealership but wanted to trade it in on another (Chevy) car because the alarm kept going off for no reason. (She was a nurse and while at work, at the hospital, the alarm would just go off and disturb everyone - and especially her! -- So the dealer said they had taken it to a Ford dealer and they couldn't make it go off, so they thought it might be the keys. So my salesman said they had new keys made for the vehicle and it hadn't had the trouble anymore. We bought the SUV. The first night home, the horn starts blowing at 3 in the morning - while the car is sitting in our garage!! and it has gone off several times while I've been at work. I've had it to my local Ford dealer and they thought it might be a back door latch, but can't tell which one.What should I do? Have all the door latches changed? Or could it be something else???

A couple times in the last month or two, my park assist comes on for apparently no reason. I am stopped at a light, with no one in front of me, and it starts beeping rapidly as if someone were almost touching the front of the car. Last night I noticed it again, this time it was snowing somewhat.

My Prius alarm goes off with no reason day and night. I did check everything like door and hatch back, they are properly closed and nothing could have caused the alarm to go off. I brought my car for checking but what the mechanic can do is just set the horn off, they couldn't find the cause.

I was in the RX450h with my son, everything's fine, its running smooth like a purring cat. I get to the bottom of the hill at a traffic light and stop with my foot on the brake.
Then it just started pulsating, engine comes on, goes off, comes on again, goes off - almost like a pressure washer with an internal leak
It went away after 30 s or so and hasn't come back. No engine lights or hybrid system warnings.
Lexus RX 2010-15 :: RX450h Sirius Keeps Going Back And Forth To No Signal For No Reason
I just bought a certified 2011 RX 450h and my sirius keeps going back and forth to no signal for no reason. I've had sirius for 9 years in other cars and it's never had this bad of reception. It's at the dealer now but the loaner 2013 RX350 they gave me does the same thing. None of my other cars perform this way on these same roads. Had this poor reception problem, what has been done to remedy?
View 11 RepliesGolf IV / Jetta IV :: Parking Brake Alarm Came On For No Reason
I have an 03 JETTA TDI 5 SPEED WAGON with 216 on it. The parking brake alarm recently came on for no reason (as did the warning light) As soon as you move 50' it starts and wont stop until you stop the vehicle. I pulled the center console, unplugged the switch and it still did it. I jumped the 2 wires together and it still did it! I cut the wires at the point where they disappeared into the larger harness, it still did it!!! Why this is happening and if there is something besides the switch at the park brake lever that make the alarm go off?
View 1 RepliesFord F-150 (2004-2008) :: Security Alarm Go Off For No Reason
I have a 2007 F-150 FX2 and as of 8-10 months ago I started having the security alarm go off for no reason. I thought maybe I sat on the fob or something stupid but it is getting to be more often. The truck sat at the dealership for 2 days last week and nothing. They decided after lightly bumping the grille and it went off the sensitivity was too low so adjusted that up to a reasonable bump required. Well it went off last night at 1:30 AM, so I don't know what to do now. The service writer did say he had seen this and it was always a door sensor but having 4 doors which one??

View 8 RepliesFord F-150 - 1997-2003 :: 1998 XLT - Alarm Keeps Going Off For No Reason
My new to me 1998 F150XLT has a strange problem. The alarm seems to go off whenever it feels like it. Sitting in front of the house (3 times), on the ferry boat with me in the cab with the key in the ignition (once), at the store (once) and once at my nieces house. This all in the last 2 weeks. Shuts right off when you hit the reset button, well except on the boat, the remote would not work at all (no door locks, nothing), but then the guy next to me had the same issue with his remote for his Honda. Had to used the key in the door to shut it down. I suspect that was an radio interference issue with the ferry's diesel/electric drive system as soon as I got off the boat he remote worked again. Is there a sensitivity adjustment on it or what. The 1995 Explorer sits right next to the F150 at the house and it never does this.
