The alarm just wen off for no reason. When I opened the doors and closed them, it tooks short while and it went on again. I repeated it couple times and same thing. Then I started the engine and let it run for a while. After that, no problems.

Could it? be low battery?

or...I had the same problem. My problem was solved with changing the hood pin/sensor. One of your door, trunk, or hood sensors maybe on it's way out.

I had this problem when I first bought the car, it only had about 1200 miles, the alarm went off while my car was running on the highway, it was really weird, but it never happen again

Hmm, I opened the hood after it went off couple of times. Before that I opened just the doors. It seems that it could be hood sensor...
