Key Fob issue
I had an issue with my Key Fob yesterday. When I got to my destination and turned off the car it said it couldn't find the fob.
I immediately restarted the car no problem.
But when I got out and tried to lock it it wouldn't lock.
Later I got back in and it started no problem. After parking it in my garage I tried the fob to lock it and it locked ok.
This has a fairly new battery less than 6 mos old.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance for your help.

I changed the batteries in both fobs. It just seems like they don't last very long. I usually get 3-4 years on my Edge fob.

That's about it for the batteries. Also, the darn things seem to die at the same time in both FOBs. Weird...

That's what I am seeing. This is the 3rd time I have changed these in the 2.5 years I have had the car.
