    It opens by itself but it only happens like once every couple of months but it also closed on me once.  I was unloading my groceries and it began to close so I stepped on the sensor path hopping it would stop but it kept on closing!  It only stopped when it hit my car.  By all other accounts the sensors worked perfectly every time.  It is kind of scary to go to the kitchen at 3:00 am look out the window and see your garage door opened wide.  Any ideas?  I've already ruled out a neighbor with the same remote.

    A few more thoughts and suggestions:

    Phantom Activation:
    The random opening of the garage door, even when no one is operating the remote, could indicate some form of phantom activation. This can happen due to electrical interference or a faulty logic board.
    Unexpected Closing:
    The fact that the door continued to close even when you were in the sensor's path is extremely dangerous. This suggests a problem with the safety reversing mechanism.
    Sensor Interference:
    While you mentioned the sensors seem to work fine normally, there may be some intermittent interference or obstruction causing issues.
    I would strongly recommend the following next steps:

    Unplug the garage door opener from power for a few minutes, then plug it back in to reset the system.
    Thoroughly clean the safety sensors and ensure there are no obstructions in their path, even small ones.
    Consider replacing the safety sensors as a precaution, as they may be starting to fail intermittently.
    Have a professional garage door technician thoroughly inspect the entire system, including the logic board, wiring, and motor. They may need to replace the control board or other components.
    The unpredictable and unsafe behavior you're experiencing poses a serious risk. Don't delay in getting this issue resolved, as it could lead to property damage or personal injury. Safety should be the top priority. Please let me know if you have any other questions!
