My car’s computer, beeps, then honks the horn once when the car is in park. IT repeats this every few seconds until you engage the car in gear (any gear). the beep is the same sound as the clock makes when changing the time. Does this mean my car’s computer system is beginning to crash? (its been doing this for several months)

Do you have an owner’s manual for this car? It sounds to me like it’s trying to tell you something.
