    Hey all,

    Anyone else having trouble with their panic alarm on their 3rd Gen? I have a 2016, and over the last couple of weeks, my panic alarm will go off once or twice a day, with no rhyme or reason - with zero provocation. My keys are sitting on the table, so I'm not even accidently hitting the panic button.

    Does this sound familiar to anyone? Think it could be a bad key fob battery? Or perhaps more of an issue with the key fob or alarm itself?

    Thanks!

    Just had this happen a few hours ago.
    I didn't see any evidence of someone hitting it, the remote is in a drawer and I disabled the touch locks......so no clue.

    How old is the battery in your truck? I've not had this problem on my Taco, but I used to have a neighbor who had this happen on his Challenger. A new battery fixed it.
