Has anybody else encountered problems with the keyless entry system?
I have a 2022 2500 with the Uconnect 8.
Everything worked without trouble for the first 2 months of ownership. Then last weekend, I went to get in my truck and the keyless entry wouldn't work. I tried the remote start, and that wouldn't work. I eventually just had to use the actual key to open the door. When the door opened, the alarm went off. I was able to push the keyfob in the start button to get the alarm to turn off.
Then the keyfob worked fine for the rest of the day. The next morning, the problem came back. This seems to be more likely to happen when the truck has been sitting for 5+ hours.
This morning, I had the same problem. So I got my other keyfob, and it seemed to work.
Curious if anybody has encountered this. Of course, it's an intermittant problem, so will be tough to get the dealer to see the problem.
If I lock the truck using keyless entry, and then open the truck using the key, is the alarm *supposed* to go off? (If the alarm is not supposed to go off, then it leads me to believe that the problem is in the truck electronics, and not a problem with the keyfob.)
