Default my alarm went off while i was driving

talk about obnoxious. i searched the forum but found little info regarding my situation. my car is bone stock. stock alarm too. any suggestions. i finally got it to stop and made it home but i made the dumb mistake of turning off my car while it happened and couldn't get my car to start again until the alarm stopped acting up. everything looked connected under the steering wheel. no loose wires or anything. so far it hasn't happened again but going over bumps on the freeway and turning seemed to be the trigger when it happened. it would go on and off. i would rather it not happen again. yesterday i closed my door and armed the car and got the triple beep that happened over and over when my alarm went off while i was driving. is this something as simple as a bad battery in my keyless remote?

Weirdness.

Do you have a hood sensor? I'd check that, but it wouldn't account for the alarm sounding when it wasn't activated. I'd look potentially to a bad alarm brain.

You should have pulled someone over and gave them a ticket.

Or, you hit your panic button by mistake. It happens.

i am the third owner. first owner was a honda sales manager. second owner was a lady who did nothing but service the vehicle for 7 years. i am 99% sure it's the factory alarm. can the panic button be operated while the car is on and driving? maybe i kneed it or something?
