Single beep when hitting potholes / speedbumps

[mhatch]

Saw a similar post in the 4th gen section, but nothing yet here in 5thGen, so figured I'd start a new post. 2013 TE. Bilsteins on all 4 corners. Just this week, when I hit a speed bump, pothole, etc, I get a single chime -- it sounds exactly like the first chime of the seat belt alarm -- but just one short (< 0.5 sec) beep. I've had the bilsteins on for a year and never had this issue until now. No VSC light activation on the dash. Has anyone else experienced this and found a cause / solution?

It might be that when you go over the bump or whatever, that your weight unloads from the seat causing the alarm.

pretty sure it's the open door alarm thinking your lift gate is open. i have had the alarm momentarily go off over bumps when i don't shut the lift gate properly and some have had to tape around the square latch to get it securely closed even when it is shut properly.

Pretty sure that codyHTX is correct

This is the cause. Same happened to me--didn't know what was going on--in addition to beep there was a quick flash of warning lights in instrument cluster each time I hit a dip or bump in the road. Got home and noticed rear hatch wasn't quite closed. Secure close of hatch fixed it....weird signal but now I know what it is.
