Hmm, poltergeist? Is your car alarm RF activated? Do you arm and disarm it via a key fob? If so, maybe the phone and the alarm are on the same frequency. Try moving the phone to another location, or better still, if your phone has 2 channels A-B, switch it to see if you can solve it. Otherwise, I'm back to Poltergeists.

Update - took it to the new dealer in Cerritos Saturday, and they have heard of this happening - some cordless home phones have the same frequency as some smart car alarms. In addition to setting off the alarm, it also tripped the TPS Monitor, and I took it in for that - they said it was related to the alarm being triggered by the phone - I will take it in this week and they will reset the TPS Monitor light.

you can reset the TPMS yourself, it's the button to the right of the the tow away button below the radio. just push it once or twice and it resets the TPMS.
