Default Parking sensors going crazy

I'm at the stop light or just driving and it's beeping as if something is in front of me when there isn't. Anybody experience this? It's wired. I have 06 gs300 awd FYI

This happens to me from time to time, always at the same intersections in the same lane. I suspect some intersections emit the same type of sensor signal to detect the presence of cars to determine signal changes.

Happened to me twice since I had my Gs... Both times it fixed itself... I just turn it off for a few days and they start working fine again!! Hope this helps

+1 on making sure the sensors are clean.

however, 3 of the sensors on my rear bumper went crazy whenever the weather was hot and the car had been sitting in the sun. dealer replaced them under warranty.
