I have a 2017 Limited with the push button start. I have severe issues with the range of the key fob. Starting with a fresh battery (in either of the two fobs i have), here are my symptoms:
- With key in my coat pocket, truck will not start and says "no key detected" until i remove fob from pocket.
- with key sitting on the console in front of the shifter, truck will start about 50% of the time without giving the no key detected message.
- with key in the little spot inside the center console, truck starts 100% of the time.
in addition, when trying to use the fob outside the truck to lock/unlock, the range is terrible. i have to be within 10 feet of the truck to lock the doors upon exit. unlocking seems to have a bit more range, but not acceptable in my mind. (when compared to every other car i've used with remote lock/unlock on the key)
Any thoughts/similar experiences? is there an antenna on a module inside the truck that may be unplugged or in the wrong position?
