Consumer Description

VEHICLE PARKED IN DRIVEWAY HAS STARTED TO SEND OFF THE AUDIBLE ANTI-THEFT ALARM AND LIGHTS AT ALL HOURS OF THE NIGHT. I HAVE RESEARCHED THIS AND NO ONE SEEMS TO HAVE AN EXPLANATION. THE CAR GETS DROVE 1-2 TIMES A WEEK (~100 MILES). JUST HIT 80,000. I HAVE HAD NO PROBLEMS WITH THIS VEHICLE OTHER THAN THE AUDIBLE ALARM/ LIGHTS GOING OFF FOR NO REASON! THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED WAS JUNE 19, 2020 AT 8:00PM...NEXT WAS JUNE 20 AT 7PM, 1:30AM, 4:30AM. I LEFT THE CAR UNLOCKED FOR SEVERAL DAYS AND IT WAS QUIET UNTIL I LOCKED IT. IT WENT OFF ON JUNE 28, 2020 AT 3:18AM. I HAVE CHECKED THE BATTERY TERMINALS FOR CORROSION. VERY CLEAN. I RESET THE COMPUTER BY PULLING THE POSITIVE TERMINAL OFF THE BATTERY, INSERTING KEY TO ON POSITION, REPLACING POSITIVE TERMINAL. CONSULTED A REPUTABLE MECHANIC. HELP
