Both fobs behave the same and are 9 months old. If the temperature is at or below 0 deg C, they won't work - I still need some more anecdotal evidence before I go back to the dealer.
I'm kind of both glad and disappointed that no one else appears to have this issue, if you know what I mean  |
Very frustrating I'm sure. Personally I don't believe there's anything wrong with the key fobs, especially since the car reacts to both the same way but did you replace the fob batteries? This is like just a checklist to eliminate things as you go along or to be able to tell the dealer what you did to try and isolate the issue.
When you walk out to the car and use the fob and it doesn't work, right there at that moment did you also try all the other buttons on the fob to see if any of them work. Once again, this is to try and zero in on the culprit. The car is full of remotely loaded modules, they're in there roof, in the rear, in the front, on the sides, you name it, you got plenty of them spread about the car. Let me know and I'll have a look at a diagram I have of module location/funtion
