I have been running into this issue in the parking lot where I work. This is a larger parking lot at a big box home improvement store. The lot typically has 60-70+ vehicles parked at any time.
About a month and a half ago I started having an issue using my fob to remote start my vehicle from the building and unlocking when walking to it. I park closer and where I can see my vehicle from a window. Four out of five times the vehicle will not respond to the commands of the fob. This was also happening on my 2020 Ram 1500 (that I traded on my new 2022 JTM) a couple of weeks ago. Never was there a problem in the past in the same parking spot (at least in the 5 years I have been there). Tried switching fobs with the new unused ones to debunk the low battery question in my mind. Same issue.
Some of my co-workers have stated the same exact issues with their vehicles and all started happening about the same time. The other makes are (GM, Ford and a couple of imports). In each case, everyone's vehicles fobs have NO range and will not function in any way until you are standing next to the vehicle. AND in each case, everyone's vehicle remote function fobs work perfectly once away from our parking lot.
Someone told me about a possible RF signal issue caused by another parked vehicle that may be malfunctioning and creating a "block" in frequency.
Is there any truth to this and is anybody else experiencing this?
