Unlocked my 18 plate Karoq SEL via the remote control this morning and drove for 15 minutes to my destination, parked up and jumped out, then tried to lock the car on the keyfob … *nothing* happened … no little red led on the keyfob flashing, no clicking of locks and folding mirrors, nothing. KESSY also not working so could not actually lock the car …. created a bit of a heart stopping moment for a while there! Fortunately I was able to start the car by pushing the keyfob against the start/stop button so got home fine and once the battery was changed for a new one (CR2032 fitted with some encouragement) everything worked like it should so no trip needed to the dealer for a warranty claim on the keyfob which was good! Has anybody else experience the battery in their keyfob just failing with no warning, no messages/symbols on the dashboard and being stuck not being able to lock/unlock their car?
