Do you have a pet in the car? Or under it?
How long did you have your car?
Has it happened before?
Did you talk to your Dealer?

If it's still doing it, push the button to disable the motion detector (in the button bank under the radio) before locking your car and that'll give you some peace until you can have your car checked.
Hope it helps!

Most likely the microwave motion sensor. I had the same problem. Just deactivate the motion sensor like JPaul said.

My car is in the shop right now because of the problem with the alarm going off. It is the electro microwave element. Your dealer will need to order it if its not in stock. It takes an hour to replace. Good luck

With luck, that's it and it's a simple fix. I had it too when the car was new. Once the motion sensor was replaced, all has been well (about a year now.) Hope you have the same good luck!

In my case was the towing sensor.
