I have a 2013 F150 Ecoboost Screw.... I bought brand new 5/2013 with factory alarm. Randomly since I bought it, the alarm will go off. It may not go off for 2-3 months, then it goes off 20 times in one freaking day. Insert some very frustrated words here......... Any ideas? As a single parent, I don't really have time to go to the dealer if its something simple that I can do. Any help would be appreciated! TIA!

same happens to me, im trapped and always afraid to lock my truck because it could go off for hours without me being able to hear it.

If it's a warranty issue and has to stay, you will most likely get a rental. Just take it in!

Yes... Gonna have to suck it up and take it in before I shoot it :-) Love my truck except when the alarm goes off.

Let's hope it doesn't come to that, Aggie_90. How many miles are on your truck? I'll see what I can do to help.

Thanks for following up, Aggie_90! I'd like to get your regional customer service manager involved so they can help. To make that happen, PM me your full name, best daytime phone number, VIN, mileage, and servicing dealership info; I'll get this into their hands.

Why are your guys afraid to take it in for service work? Hell I wouldnt hesitate.

Are all your doors shut? I know this sounds weird but my alarm went off once day and it scared the hell out of me. Turned out to be my rear CC door wasnt shut all the way. Something jostled the truck enough to make it think someone was opening it.

If the doors are shut I would think its a loose or faulty door sensor.

If your Alarm System is the OEM FORD VSS (Vehicle Security System), it will have a Sensitivity Adjustment **** on the unit which is accessible through the access panel, driver's side, with the door opened, adjacent to the light switch. Pull the panel out by pulling it from the vent hole. It will pivot a bit. Then take a peek inside. You should see a box with the adjustment ****. It may be set at the most sensitive setting. Turn the **** the opposite direction and test. You dealer should have given you the manual for it also.

Hope this helps!

Thanks! It is the Ford OEM system. I don't think I was given a manual for it but I will double check. I probably could find a copy online though. Its weird because I always park way away from anyone and even non a bright sunny day can go crazy.... Or even in my own driveway with no one around. Its worth a shot though :-)
