I am having intermittent issues with my truck registering the key fob both when outside trying to lock/unlock the truck as well as inside when trying to start the truck (or god forbid I have the truck running and I exit so it honks at me like I can't hear the engine is still on). I have replaced the batteries and even validated with volt meter the replacement battery voltage is good. Anyone else had similar issues? I don't know how to take it in for dealer to look at as I could go multiple days with no issues then it goes off and fails to register 50% of the time for a day or so then back to working. I can already hear them say "can't reproduce". Thanks!

Assuming it’s also doing it with your spare fob? In the past a couple members had similar issues and I believe it turned out to be a problem with the RF Hub.

I haven't tried using my spare fob, I might do that just to validate! At least having the experience with multiple keys could help service repair/replace something. Appreciate the idea @flan!

I had similar issues with the tradesman fobs all the time. it hasn't happened one time since I got the 5 button fob for remote start and tailgate release.
