My remote control key is not working properly. I am having difficulty opening the doors. For a while, I was only able to unlock the driver's side door. Sometimes, if I was lucky, I could get all the doors open. Now, the remote key will not unlock any door. I will need to manually open the door to get inside. If manually done, the power button inside the vehicle will not work at all. If I were able to open just the driver's side door, once inside, I could access the power button near the transmission panel to unlock all the doors.

However, the remote control key has always been able to lock the doors.

Please provide me with some helpful answers, thanks.

It sounds like the remote needs new batteries.
