Thanks. But hopefully you are wrong. This is a $100 vs. $4 issue. I have ordered new key fob batteries. Let's see what is going to happen after I change the fob battery first.

New car battery and I no longer had any fob issues. And yes, my fob issues tended to be more likely to occur after the car hadn't been driven for longer periods of time - because the battery would be topped of immediately after any drive, and so caused no issues during brief periods of inactivity.
