Has anyone experienced their alarm going off randomly?
Went to check the first time and nothing was wrong. The second time, I opened the door and started the car. Nothing appeared on the dash.
By the third time I even opened the hood but that didn't fix the problem.

Complete guess, of course, but do you have something plugged in or attached to power somewhere that is not powering down correctly after the car is locked?

For only an example, MHD Black WiFi OBDII interface when left plugged in into the car's OBD port doesn't power down to low current state properly and causes Gxx alarm to trigger a few minutes after locking due to detected parasitic current load. Maybe you have something like that going on.

This probably isn't the case for you, but my alarm has gone off because the keys were in my pocket & my thigh pressed the alarm button. Happened to me a couple of times, so now I put my keys in the cupholder )

I hope the service dept is able to fix this for you
