Two weeks ago, I was unable to lock my car using the remote fob. I had to call the RAC out (I am a motability customer)- the guy couldn't rectify the fault - he tried both remote fobs, so had to use the key to lock the car. I rang Perrys the next day - explained to them what happened and it was booked in for them to look at the reason why the remote fob wasn't working. However, during the period from phoning Perrys and me taking it to them on Wednesday - the remote fob had decided to work - although it was intermittent. I explained to the service receptionist that the problem was intermittent. After sitting in the showroom for about an hour, a service receptionist called and told me that they couldn't find a fault with either fob and came out to my car and showed me that both fobs were working OK.
Thursday it was working OK. Friday - it worked when I first got into the car - then I parked up to go into a shop - remote fob was still working - when I came out of the shop - pressed the remote fob - nothing happened! So I had to use the key to unlock my car. When I got back home - got shopping out of the car and went to lock - the remote worked! Didn't use my car yesterday. This morning - it unlocked and locked OK using the remote fob - but when I came to lock it when I came home - I had to use the key! The RAC man said that the remote fob have rechargeable batteries in them and they are charged up every time the key is put in the ignition.
I wondering if anyone has experienced this problem and what they or their dealer did to rectify the problem. I have only had the car since March of this year. I wasn't able to use it for six weeks following an operation but the remote fob still worked properly.
