My key fob is acting up...incorrect key id,,keeps popping up..I dont understand why this is doing this,,I feel that this is a safety issue because I really am nnot safe when I am stranded because my car will not start
Vehicle was stationary. Dash panel displayed key not detected. Car wouldn't start. Replace battery in key fob with a brand new energizer battery. Worked fine two times and did the same thing. Had car battery checked and was told it was good. Car wouldn't start on me again in an unlit parking lot. Very dangerous situation. Have read on blogs that this is common with this car. Why won't they fix it?

When my wife has her hearing aid on the keyless car will not start. When I am picking her up and she gets in the car, the dash flashes a warning and says no key detected. The car remains on but will not restart in an emergency unless she gets out. I am a senior, her hearing aid is modern and conforms to fcc reg. Help.
