Anyone else's parking sensors freak out randomly?

My dearly departed Macan's & our current & former 991s' sensors were/are triggered by Ford vehicles with the park/traffic sensors. It's can be annoying, but it's not hard to turn off the sensor button.

Oh man, if you're telling me I can get some jellybean Ford parts, amplify the hell out of them, and mess with people in 911s...

UPDATE: The sensors have freaked out 3 or 4 times since my original post. I won't say I'm happy that it happened, but I am pleased to say that each time it was, in fact, a Ford in front of me.
It's not a definitive answer, but it does look like the group census here on the forum may be on to something.
Very strange... but, at least it seems to conform to a pattern.
Nothing to worry about. Disregard and carry on, I guess.
Thanks to the team for their input.

I had this happen on my 2013 GTS once, even the exclamation point. I think there was a mouse in that area of mine which set it off. I never bothered to investigate further, I just gassed the garage a few times.
The only thing you can really do is clean the areas on the body where the sensors are at.

This has happened to me a few times. The dealership says that "this is normal" and the car is "over engineered". I would say the opposite to both statements. Good news is that looking at the video I caught of my car doing this, it was a newer Ford Explorer in front of me.

I wouldn't know because the first thing I do after starting the car is to disable the sensors. I don't need sensors to tell me where the edges of my 911 are, especially backing out my own garage.

The button next to the homelink garage door opener (which I hit at same time), aft of the rear view mirror. I have the back up camera and rear window for critters, but I'm out in the country, so not much of a worry. The parking sensor was even triggered by the mailbox at the bottom of the driveway. More of a nuisance than a help.
