| Description of the problem | I have the key-less entry and many times with the key fob in my pocket i can not open the door. The door sensor does not recognize the key fob unless i take it out and press the lock unlock button. At times with the car in my garage the vehicle says no key code found and i have to either pres lock unlock on the key fob or i have to put the key next to the start button for a few seconds before it recognizes it. I've tried to see if i could think of an emi source each time it happens, and the only thing i have noted is that it only happens when close to a wall. Has not yet happened in open parking lot. Once is happened when i was parked next to an f250 and i figured maybe it has to do with being in proximity of large objects. It has happened about 15 times so far from jan to april 2014. |
