I have to be less than 5 feet away from the car for the key fob to work. All the buttons work okay, and it has a new battery in it too. I have owned this car for 3 years; it has always been this way.

It’s not only the door lock, it is also a problem with remote start. I have to be within 5 feet to remote start the vehicle too.

And I thank you for helping me with this… This problem must not occur often because I can’t find any parts house that has a door lock receiver for sale.
