Consumer Description
CAR WAS PARKED AND LOCKED. KEYLESS ENTRY SYSTEM ALLOWED DOORS TO BE OPENED. UPON SITTING IN DRIVERS SEAT, BEFORE ANY ATTEMPT TO START CAR, A MESSAGE ON DASH SAID "REMOTE KEY DEACTIVATED". AFTER THAT, NOTHING WORKED, NO FURTHER MESSAGES, COULD NOT LOCK DOORS, COULD NOT START CAR, NOTHING FUNCTIONED. FINALLY HAD CAR TOWED TO DEALER, CASEY SUBARU, NEWPORT NEWS, VA. LATE NEXT MORNING, DEALER CALLED TO SAY CAR WAS READY FOR PICKUP. THEY COULD FIND NO PROBLEM, BOTH REMOTE KEYS FUNCTIONED WELL, NO PROBLEM CODES FOUND. CAR OPERATED WELL ON MY DRIVE HOME, <5 MILES. HOWEVER, I HAVE A REAL CONCERN OF GETTING STRANDED IN FUTURE.
