Problems with push button start

[csmarsh]

Does anyone else have problems with their pust button start??? Mine acts up at least once a week. It there a trick to it??? Do I need to hold the Intelligent Key different in my hand when getting into the car??? HELP!!

If you tell us what the actuall problem is would help. It does not start? Can't get in the car?

When I get into the car and put my foot on the brake to start it, it sometimes is finicky and doesn't want to start. So I open and shut the door and sometimes this works and sometimes it doesn't. Eventually the car will recognize the Intelligent key is in the car and it will start.

Hmm. maybe the brake switch or the battery in the fob. Hope Poyzi or Steve would chime in and have more info. I never experienced an problems with my fob.

I know if you hold it close to the center console it might not recognize your fob. Try to keep it in yourpocket. Try different locations.

Yes, I thought about entering the car with the fob in my pocket. I am going to try it in different ways...thanks!!

Make sure you don't store it next to your cell phone. I have heard that phones can deprogram (is that a word?) them.

I never take the fob out of my pocket and I have never had a problem. If it doesn't work for you I would bring it to the dealer.

the cell phone will block the signal of the I-key... i always have to remember to take my phone out my pocket with the I-key...

We had a car carrier delivering a vehicle for a shipper of ours. The truck driver had laid the key fob by his cell phone. When he got to destination, the fob wouldn't start the car. He couldn't get any of the other vehicles off the carrier because he couldn't get that car to start.



Had to have the shipper FedEx the other fob to him.

Honestly, I never take my key out my pocket when entering or driving, never had any problems, had it about a year..
