Key Fob inoperative?!


Recommended Posts

I know....this is going to sound kinda weird...

We went to our local Hardee's restaurant a few months back. We parked in the spots right near to the building, which also happen to be near to the drive-through ordering station.

 

When I went to lock the car, the fob did not work. But I did get a notice on the left side of the instrument cluster telling me to restart the car?!

 

I did that, but to no avail. The fob would not work on the car. Neither would my wife's fob.

 

So I moved the car away from the building and everything worked as it should.

So I called the salesman at the dealership and he told me he has had several other customers report the same thing! But he thought it was because it was a problem from the pumps at the gas station next door to Hardee's.   I'm not so sure about that because it is a couple of hundred feet to the gas station pumps, while the drive through is only about 50 feet away from where we parked.

 

I even tried replacing the battery in the fob, to no avail. 

 

So, if you ever have a similar situation, move the vehicle to a different location. It seems that many gas station and drive-throughs use wireless technology rather than wired.   GO FIGURE!
