help please.-John

Answer
If the car rocks but does not move I'd say a brake is sticking.  Pull the handbrake and put it in gear to see if the feel is the same.  If it is, you know where to look.

As for the alarm . . . put key in driver door, turn to lock while pressing and holding lock button.  Hold 5 seconds.  Turn to unlock, press unlock, and hold 5 seconds.  If your remotes are functional and the switch in the driver door is good that process will reset them to the car
