Replying to: alohadave (Jun 06, 2009 12:24 pm) I've had a very similar thing. We bought our 2005 Mazda 5 from a Mazda dealer a year ago, and ever since the alarm has gone of randomly. Its been in with the dealer for the third time today and once again they have found nothing. It doesn't seem to go off in any kind of predictable pattern and it can be weeks between occurences. All the dealer can suggest is I leave the car with them until it goes off in the workshop, which really isn't going to work as we could end up being without the car for days if not weeks. Did resetting the main computer work for you? Replies to this message: alohadave (Oct 02, 2009 2:25 pm)

I strongly suggest you speak to the Service Manager, explain that another owner of a 2009 had the same problem, and that the dealer "reset the computer" and that seemed to solve the problem. I hope this helps.
