    As a GM service consultant for the past 15 years, the most common issue with random alarms is a door sensor is dirty or defective and the alarm "thinks" an intrusion has taken place. You can disconnect and tape the wires on each door sensor, trunk sensor, hood sensor and etc, one at a time to eliminate the culprit. Once you get to a sensor and the issue stops, there you go! I'd say 8 out of 10 have this as the issue.

    I am having the same problem with mine and I have to let it sit at the airport for a week. Where are the sensors for the doors and trunk located? I am going to disarm it this week with the programming function but I would like to fix it properly so any help would be greatly appreciated also where can I buy a new shock sensor in the event that mine is bad?

    If you don't care about having the factory alarm, read the owners manual and you can change the settings on it. I was having the same problem on my last GP with the alarm going off in the middle of the night. I looked up in the manual how to turn off the entry detection settings and turned it off. No more waking up in the middle of the night after that.
