The other day the wife was at a garage sale and went to leave and her car doors would not unlock. Her phone was in the car so she told the lady what was going on and asked to use her phone to call me. Long story short the lady said it is probably the fob battery, so they switched batteries and it worked fine. Car isn't even a year old and only has 8,000 miles on it.
Earlier today the wife was telling me about some guy who had a fob battery die while he was locked in his car and he couldn't get out. He wrote a note to his family explaining what happened, thinking he was gonna die....but later he got saved by someone. Guess he tried breaking windows and couldn't get them to break. I was Googling for the article and seen this happens often, especially to children.
Might be wise to stick an extra battery or 2 in the glove box and maybe one on the frame in a box. Any of you ever had any instances where your fob failed at bad time?
