Yesterday I was at work and I heard my alarm go off. I attributed it to a sharpie marker being in my pocket and accidentally pressing on the fob so I unlocked/locked the car and it stopped. About 30 mins later I was leaving for work and I pulled out my fob and know for a fact I didn't press any buttons, heard it go off again. I started walking up to the car and it went off again. 
Unlocked it with the fob to get in and it went off AGAIN. I get home and when I turn off the car, alarm goes off before I open the door.
So I opened up the fob and found 2 of the prongs bent over but the other 2 are still making contact with the battery. Seems odd bc I don't remember them being bent when I changed batteries the last time. Bend them back and as soon as I put it together, alarm is triggered so I unlocked it from the fob. Here's where it gets weird. I'm looking at the fob in confusion and without pressing buttons, the red light flashes and alarm goes off. I watched it do this twice in a span of 2 mins. I reopened the fob and nothing looks burnt, corroded, or questionable. Has anyone had this happen to them?
Warranty ran out back in Feb. By the situation, it looks like I may need to replace the fob and reprogram (worst case scenario).
