I just bought a 2008 elantra GLS. 5 speed manual with power windows/locks/mirrors/upgrade 6 speaker stereo, factory keyless entry/alarm, etc.. etc..

Love the car so far, but noticed something irritating.

When I lock the doors with the key fob, and then hit the button again where the horn honks, I noticed this weekend that randomly the alarm will go off and the lights will flash and horn honk. If I just hit the button once and lock the doors, I don't have the problem. But I noticed the alarm going off randomly several times this weekend and its kind of irritating.

Anyone have any ideas on what's wrong?

On the other side of the key fob is a "panic" alarm button which sets off the alarm. Be sure you are not accidentally pressing it. I have a couple of times when I have bumped in to some thing or bent over with a lot of stuff in my pocket.
