Well, mine stopped working. I replaced the battery in the fob, like I do with all my cars, and it still doesn't work. And my wife's key, that gets used, um, NEVER, doesn't work either. And the...

Taking it in tomorrow. It's expected that he will just recharge it. We did that nine years ago with our old Chrysler 300m. Turned out it was a corroded evaporator. It all leaked out within a day.
