My car alarm goes off for no reason. It seems to happen more when the weather gets warm. I'd like to just disarm it for now until I can get it fixed...

If you are sure its moisture you can purchase a solution that will take the moisture out of the fuel as long as there is not water sitting in your gas tank. If you are letting a vehicle set all winter and going to use it later you should fill the gas tank with gas before storing and this will prevent moisture from forming in the tank as the weather gets cold and warms up. Even in the winter with all vehicles you should keep your fuel tank above half full at all times. People sometimes feel it takes too much money to fill the tank but it takes the same amount of gas to put in the top half as it does the bottom half.
How many miles on the car? I recommend hooking up a direct reading oil pressure guage. Oil level is not the only factor on oil pressure. As an engine ages, clearances and bearings wear and the pressure falls. Using too thin oil can result in low pressure.
If you have an automatic transmission, you may be experiencing torque converter clutch (TCC) lockup shudder. There is a solenoid in auto transmissions that engages a clutch in the torque converter to save gas on the highway. These frequently stick open and cause problems at stoplights. IF you have an auto, a pretty good way to check if this is the problem is to put the car in neutral at a stoplight (CAREFULLY) and see if the problem goes away. Also, the clutch should not engage until the vehicle is warmed up, so if your problem happens when your car is cold, this is probably not the issue. Sometimes, these solutions can be inexpensive. I fixed my own TCC solenoid on my 1993 Chevy for about $20. Other times it can get spendy.
There is a reason and that is that one of the door ajar sensors is defective most likely. To determine which sensor is the problem you must have the dealer scan the system ans be able to duplicate the problem.
stop locking the door with the lock button while the door is open. That engages the factory alarm. You can also use the key in the driver door lock to disarm the system
Get a new car! JK - my 2002 Sable does the same thing. It can be 5 times a day then not for a month, or 2-3 times a day for a week straight. It happens in different locations and different weather and different times of the day. To my knowledge has never done it in my garage at home. I have not called a dealer. Has anybody ever found the real problem? Could it be in the remote itself? I tried leaving it unlocked at work, but yesterday it went off just as I was reaching toward the door handle.
