Car alarm goes off and I go outside assuming some one is trying to break in. It's cold and dark outside and the car is secure.
...Alarm goes off a second time so I get in and drive around the corner. A light comes on saying HOOD IS OPEN ... Of course the hood is not open and I pull over to check it anyway. The Hood, Trunk, Gas Cap... I opened and closed everything ... I get back home and lock the door , only for this piece of s)_ to go off again.
...Neighborhood is quiet , so now this poorly Engineered Design feature in my Toyota is disturbing the neighbors. I took it to TOYOTA BURLINGTON NC ...and the solutions as always is to replace the sensor ...The sensor $360... I said no, disable the alarm system ...I'm tired of replacing parts because of poor design. ... 2 1/2 hours later they disabled the hood sensor and it was still going off when I arrived home ... I had to leave the key in the ignition and the doors unlocked overnight to stop the alarm from going off. I will do more research before purchasing a new vehicle. This may be the last Toyota for me.
