Default Key issues

I push the unlock button on my key ring and sometimes it doesn't unlock my car. Anyone know what I should do to repair this issue?

Can't recall the details, but believe there's a relay in the BCM or in the driver's door that's starting to fail. You can try a search ... I'm sure there are some threads about it.
