Default Key Fob Problem

Has anyone else experienced this problem? I use my key fob once to lock the car, go in the house, the next day to open my doors I try the key fob and it doesn't work. I hold down the lock and unlock button together to resynchorzine the fob and it will work once. Then I have to resynchronize it again. I put new batteries in about 2 months ago. I don't think they could be dead already? Any thoughts? Thanks a lot!

If you replace the battery and check that the battery contacts are not bent or dirty and it keeps needing resynch, it is a bad fob. Happened to me. I got one from that on-line auction place for $35.

I had the same problem. Ended up replacing the fob and no more problems.
