Emergency horn goes off when turning car off and on

Today, while out the emergency horn went off when I turned on the car. There was nothing I could do to turn it off. I tried the key fob, red button. I pushed everything I could on the dash panel, but nothing worked. It finally went off on its own. When I got home, it went off again when I turned the car off. A small red light began flashing on and off around the same time and never went off until I turned off the car.

Anyone else had this problem? I have a 2013 Acura RDX I bought brand new last year around this time. I'm taking it into the dealer in a few minutes, but I thought I'd check here too.

They checked that right away and said the battery is testing perfectly. They've kept it and gave me a loaner for now.

It's only a year old.
