slounds like a bcm problem to me. body control module it baisicly controls all functions of the car the pcm dont like the keyless entry. maybe your keyless remote is out of synchranzation with the module or the shock sensor back by the spare tire could be failing

I'd try turning the sensitivity down first, if it still does it unplug the shock sensor and see if it stops.

The two shock sensors I toasted developed corrosion on the chip inside them. That'd be the first thing I'd check.

I have the EXACT same problem. Every now and then, my alarm will completely go off, instead of just the two loud HONKS after the chirp chirp. Mines done it even since i bought the car over a year ago. PLEASE update this thread if you get it firgured out. I mostly manually lock my doors now, just to not have to hear the annoying HONKS. **** drives me CRAZY
