Brand new craftsman remotes don't work when garage is closed

I just installed a brand new Craftsman garage door Model # 53918

The install went fine, all the senors are aimed properly and remotes are all synced. I can open and close the garage just fine from inside the garage but when I close it and im in the driveway the remotes don't work at all. I have to get right next to the door and even then they work only 1 in maybe 30 trys. I read there may be a frequency issue or something with too much metal or motion sensors, is this true? Is there a fix or way around this all? If not then I can't believe craftsman put their name on it. Any suggestions would be appreciated!!
