Hello all...I have a very random issue with my wife's 08 liberty, and have no idea what could be going on.
It started when her key fob would randomly not work. Figured it was the battery, so I replaced it. Fob started working again, but sometimes immediately after locking the car (beep!) the lights flash, and the damn thing unlocks itself.
Thought it weird, but it didn't happen that often.
Now, it's doing it regularly (enough such that I've had to give her a jump 2x because the battery was dead), and it will randomly unlock. Hell, the other night, I walked in front of the car (with the key sitting on the desk inside) and it unlocked itself. This is not the first time it's happened, either. Many times I've walked outside and noticed the lights on like it was just unlocked, but I never touched the key!!
Now - things I've noticed that are different: Hazards don't flash when unlocking like (I think) they used to. Same when locking. I'd swear they do that normally, however I don't see them flashing when locking, either.
So, has anyone else experienced this craziness? Taking it to the dealer next week, but I'm not holding out much hope as this is damn near impossible to reproduce, it's just TOTALLY random.
I'm considering getting a different key fob, in hopes that something has gone wonky with this one, causing it to transmit weird things, but not sure that'd help out...
