I had this same issue last week. My key was no longer being recognized when I walked up to the car or when I was inside. I had to hold the fob next to the steering column to start the car.

This started happening the day before our scheduled service appointment at the dealer, so that worked out well. The found the battery in my fob was almost dead and replaced it. Works great now.
