When the temperature drops below around 40 degrees, the keyless entry and remote start won't work - unless I'm just a couple of feet from the car. Same result with second remote. Dealer reprogrammed remotes - same issue. Checked batteries on remotes. They are fine. Doubt it's a remote problem, because they weren't exposed to the cold - only the vehicle. Even on warm days, distance is not great. But it works while I'm still in the house.
