Default Does anyone's alarm go when you pop trunk?

Ever since mother winter started, almost every other time i pop my trunk with the remote and the car is still locked, when i pull the trunk lid up my dam alarm goes off. Never did it before and decided to do it now. And i am sure one could imagine how freaking annoying it can get specially when its super early in morning, in crowded parking lot, at mall, heck even after church and everyone has to look at you like is this guy stealing that car, is this guy retarded and cant open his car, or shut off that fn car ja. I am just guessing i might need a sprits of lube or something on the latching mechanism or something easy like that.

Nope. I can pop my trunk at any time without the alarm going off. Sounds like a dealer issue to me.

mine does that - always has.. if the alarm is armed, and I pop the trunk, the alarm goes off...

think about it... if your car is armed, and someone breaks into your trunk, the alarm should go off...

correct, but he opened the trunk with the remote, so the alarm should not go off.

Take it to the dealer!

If my alarm is armed and I pop my trunk and open my trunk up it goes off. Popping the trunk doesn't disarm my alarm I have to unlock the door thereself to do that. Maybe it's a Monte thing.

Take it to the dealer NOW when it is actually doing it, otherwise if you wait till spring and it only does it ever-now-and-then, they might not find the problem, and have to take it back repeatidly. I own an 06 MC SS and I can pop the trunk w/o any troubles with the alarm going off, even if I don't unlock it first.
