Key Problem - Sometimes the car starts right up, other times it
Key Problem - Sometimes the car starts right up, other times it turns on but immediately shuts itself off.
Also, sometimes I try to unlock the car with the remote and I get locked out completely. The battery is fine in the remote but I get locked out. On top of that, the key will not open the driver's side door manually at all. The key does open the trunk manually, but the alarm goes off and I have to crawl through the trunk to get inside. Once inside, I can start the car, turn it off, and then the remote key works again when I press the unlock button.
This seems to make it work again for a couple days, then I get locked out and go through the same thing all over again. I took the car to Audi in Miami, but they only fixed the problem for about 2 weeks, then the same problem again.
Anyone know what this problem could be?
