2 things not impressed with

[Off_the_grid]

The first issue is the capless fuel filler door coming open at the car wash and allowing water to enter. The second is having to place the fob between 2 cups of coffee etc in the console , and if you don't, it won't be detected and gives you a message and chime that it isn't detected every time someone exits the vehicle.

Then your battery is toast in your fob. My can be anywhere and it’s detected.
Many vehicles have capless fill.

Never had an issue with the gas door coming open, but to keep crud out, I bought a pair of these and they slip over perfectly. I lubricate the inside edges with silicone grease so it slides off. I have since put a key ring zip tied through the center of it to make it easier to pull off in the cold.

We’re all fortunate enough to have such nice things to have issues with. . .I haven’t experienced, atleast yet, the issues you have. I’d agree the key fob issue will hopefully resolve with a battery replacement. I’ve also never had the fuel filler access door open during a pressure wash to notice if the capless fuel filler allows any water in.Admittedly, my truck is definitely not kept as clean as some members’ though. My drive is gravel and I live on 40+ acres so it is what it is.

I will definitely try new batteries as the remote start won't function either. Woe is me,now I have to push a button, image that!

Im really excited to walk up to my truck, push the button on the door handle, and it opens. A little different than my first truck. A 1971 Datsun

i installed one of these, just because...but never noticed water in area

as for the fob, mine works from an easy 1500 feet or so...just have to hold the button long enough for the signal to reach the vehicle...in the vehicle, in can be anywhere and work. Replace your battery in the fob, Not under the hood.

Yeah my 2012 Ram Big Horn remote worked from inside Walmart to easily 1000ft away to start it. Coworker with a Ford couldn't believe it until I showed him. I can't start the Boss from 10ft away....ima change batteries in both fobs.

I'm just happy to have a truck.

I call BS on the 1000ft range for the Ram with the remote. But, at least we can always start our trucks from miles away with our phones. In Dec 2019 I was driving from Nevada to Virginia, via Utah, in my wife's 2017 Traverse with my then 23 month old daughter. I stopped in Wyoming for a night. Getting up and about to leave the hotel for the day I had everything ready to go and suddenly realized I forgot to buckle my daughter's harness. For some stupid reason I locked the car doors with the key in the ignition and the engine running while I got out of the car to go around and buckle my daughter up. My wife was at work in Virginia. I called her up and asked her to unlock her car with her phone, which she did. That same tech is in our trucks today.

Pretty sure there's a drain in the fuel fill line in between the two flaps. So unless the car wash had enough force to open the second flap, I doubt water would ever get into the fuel tank.

I meant 100ft lol, relax. Pardon me I didn't proof read.

Replaced both fob batteries with Duracell and fixed the fob issue.

Remember, there's a difference between helping your Uncle Jack off a horse, and helping your uncle jack off a horse. Proofreading is important. I make mistakes, too. I usual get to blame my phone's predictive text for failing to read my mind, and knowing the difference between your and you're.

Btw, 100 feet isn't difficult for a Chevy remote. You may need to hold it to your chin to ground it, but it'll reach 100 feet.

I did about 350 mile round trip,mostly interstate, mountainous run today and I'm satisfied with the mileage.
