My dad's 2016 CX-5 Touring has been having key fob issues for the past 2 or 3 months. It has the factory remote start as well which has also been having issues. The key fobs themselves go through batteries in about a month. We tried swapping one for the other, and put new batteries in both of them several times, and the batteries are dead in a month.
The other issue is the remote start will not work reliably. It is totally unpredictable. Sometimes it will work 5/5 times, other times, the fob will turn on, then when you press and hold the start button, the key fob just shuts off. Now that we are into the winter this is especially annoying.
The car is still under warranty, so it should be covered, but I'm wondering if anyone else has had similar issues with their key fobs and/or remote start?
