Hey everyone so lets get down to it!! i was im my car last night and about to getout ,was listing to xm for a bit. my car was not running but i was pertty sure i had everthing off radio was just playing becuase i had not opend the door yet. Then the lights on the push start were blinking from acc to off back and forth,also the trip screen was say something like no fob and something else i cant remeber? I had my fey in my pockect. So i started the car and everything was fine said fob one which i had. Should i get ready for a trip to the dealer or was this a fluke??? thanks for reading this any any help
IMO there's no problem. Sometimes the car just doesn't recognize the fob, or can't receive it's signal when it's in your pocket. It happens occasionally.

I've had the no fob message. Sometimes I can change from my right pocket next to the console to my left pocket and it solves the problem.
Once, with an 05 Coupe, I had to change the battery.
This is probably the problem. Nothing serious if that's it.

Hey everyone thanks for the replys i keep my fob in the same poceket, i also i have an 08 but im hoping your all right and its nothin i'll keep my eye out on it hopefully nothings wrong thanks for all you advice!
You might want to invest in a new battery. The fob should be good for approximately three feet, obviously depending on other interference issues, jeans vs. slacks etc. My fob will work even if I am on the passenger side, if it is in my left pocket. It will not always work if I'm on the passenger side and it is in my right pocket. Just that little bit of difference.
I had my fob in a pair of shorts I was wearing. I was in the garage doing situps and I noticed the rear hatch on the Vette popped open. Hmmm, I though. That was odd. So I went and closed it and went back to my workout. It did it again. Finally figured out that I was compressing the fob in my shorts and it was openning the hatch.
While it's possible you could have a problem, you probably don't. Wait and see if it happens again on a regular basis before you consider getting it checked out.
