Description of the problem	Key fob quit working three days after they put new batteries in it because i stated it didn't seem to be working correctly. By quit working i mean: keyless entry would not work; remote would not unlock or lock doors or tailgate. I had to take the metal key to unlock door. Once inside i had to put key fob next to steering column in order to get it to start. Called dealership service center, the made appointment and brought me loaner car.
