I bought this car used 2017 and didn't have many issues, just normal wear and tear, but then I started having issues when trying to unlock my door with my key fob to a point I had to keep my car unlocked because I wasn't sure if I would be able to get in without assistance. Then, the same key fob wouldn't start my car!
