Wireless keys?!? If you mean key FOBs some people have problems with them occasionally. Its a manufacturing defect.

Ya I had a problem with mine it would work some times and some times not and the dealership said they wouldn't cover it and it was close to 100 for a new one so I took mine home and took it apart and found that the battery inside had broken the contacts. I made two soders and it has been working fine now for 4 months. Common defect just use a knife to pop it open to see if that is your problem.

ya, the broken contacts happen quite often. if you barely drop your keys they can break. My dealer warrantied mine the last time that happened, although that was actually what led me to buying my current car.
