yojroz Posted August 1, 2013 at 09:19 PM Report Share Posted August 1, 2013 at 09:19 PM I live in LA where (compared to the rest of the country) it doesn't get all that hot. I also park at home and at work in covered parking. So this summer there have only been two times that I parked uncovered on a particularly hot day. Both times, when I came back to my car it wouldn't recognize my key (Titanium key fob). So both times I was stranded. Eventually it worked enough to get the car to unlock, but then still wouldn't recognize the key to start the car. So to be clear, the auto unlock when I grabbed the handle didn't work, the unlock button on the remote didn't work, and the lock, start, start on the key didn't work. Once I get in though, the battery worked enough to say on the dash that it didn't recognize a key, but not enough to start. Anyone else have that problem?

murphy Posted August 1, 2013 at 09:59 PM Report Share Posted August 1, 2013 at 09:59 PM Did the keypad on the driver's door jamb work?If not, did the metal key inside of the IA key work?Did you put the IA key in the slot in the center console to see if that would work?

yojroz Posted August 1, 2013 at 10:13 PM Author Report Share Posted August 1, 2013 at 10:13 PM Didn't try any of those options because at the time I didn't know about them. While those might work (and I'll try them next time), I'd still like to know if others have had the same experience. It doesn't seem right for mine to have that happen when the car is maybe just over 100 degrees, if others in Arizona and southern states aren't having the same problem.

TX NRG Posted August 2, 2013 at 02:37 AM Report Share Posted August 2, 2013 at 02:37 AM If yours hasn't had it already, get the dealer to apply the update from TSB 13-5-32. Seems to help some people.

yojroz Posted August 2, 2013 at 05:57 PM Author Report Share Posted August 2, 2013 at 05:57 PM Thanks. I'll check that out. Is there any way to know if I have that without going in? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TX NRG Posted August 2, 2013 at 10:47 PM Report Share Posted August 2, 2013 at 10:47 PM (edited) If your car was built before May 31st and you haven't had it serviced since May 31st then it likely doesn't have it yet. TSBs are dated in European date format. There must have been 2 TSBs on the 31st, thus they gave it a -32.
