2020 Limited USA. Has this happened to anyone else. Several times now after shutting down via push button my car gives me message that “key fob not in car” and keeps an alarm going. This has happened with both fobs. My key fob was in the car. To stop this alarm I needed to start car again and shut down.?
Thanks

sounds like a loose or defective battery in the key fobs

Possible interference from another device nearby ?

Happens to me too. With fresh Energizer(premium most expensive freshness dated battery). The only way to fix I’ve found is just turn off wait a couple seconds and then turn it on again. Works so far for me🤷🏻‍♂️

Hi, What would cause interference? The only thing I can think of would be a magnet in my purse! Thanks- am having this problem after a year of owning a 2018 that generally has been running just fine.

Any large amount of material can degrade the key fob signal, so if you have a lot of stuff in that purse might not help the signal strength. That being said, I still have problems with that once in a while and fix it generally by just turning the car right off and on and then it picks up the fob signal. if you’ve either not replaced the battery in the fob or just replaced it after a year, I’d replace it with a new battery just to eliminate the possibility of a weak battery or lose battery connection in the fob and go from there.

Thank you! I have noticed that the signal seems activated when I touch the On button with the key itself to start the car. Will check/change the battery and ditch excess from purse,too.About time for that~
