Reproduce Steps:
- While in fob range, press remote start button on key fob twice in quick succession

Expected:
- Truck starts

Result:
- Truck does not start
- Dash displays "Remote start active" as if remote start had worked properly
- This used to happen once every 20 or so remote starts; now it's about once every 5 remote starts

Anyone else getting this? Any solutions?

Take it to your dealer, is it not under warranty?

Unfortunately, no. She's got 47K on her now. :(

Just going through similar problem. Remote start wouldn't work. I didn't pay too much attention, let it go awhile. Then doors were pesky to lock/unlock at times. I changed the battery, twice. Each time I replaced the battery the remote worked perfect, for a couple days, then back to issues. Took it to the dealer and they had to order me a new fob.

Hi AzRamLover,

If you decide to visit your local dealership for further diagnosis I'd be happy to follow up with them for you if needed. Just PM our page with your VIN and let me know!
