The intelligent key is not being recognized by the vehicle. Acts as if the key is not within the reading range. This causes the doors to stay locked/unlocked when using the fob. Also, the ignition will not turn even though the fob is in the car. The actual key has to be removed from the fob in order to operate the vehicle.
I purchased a new 2007 Nissan quest and had the remote start option installed, which was an audiovox as-9076 when inspecting the vehicle, I found that with the remote start package installed, it was possible to use the lock/unlock buttons on the doors to start the vehicle without the key. My concern here is that my wife comes home and gets out of the car to get my son out of the back and my one year old son could lock and start the car without the keys, if my wife left her purse on the front seat while she got him, the only thing she could do would be to call the police, as I doubt she would be able to break the window. The most dangerous scenario I can think of would be in the middle of the hottest day of the summer or something which could result in serious injury to a child, or a heart attack to his mother. I have had the remote start system disabled and we have another appointment with the dealer to "correct" the problem, they tried once and said they could not correct it, so I left it disabled until either removed or corrected, but if someone else had the same option installed and did not know about the buttons, I believe that it could be just a matter of time before a horrible accident happens to an innocent child, which I would hope can be avoided. I have already contacted Nissan, the dealership, and audiovox with my concerns as well, but no one seems to believe this danger exists, or merits any serious attention. Perhaps I'm wrong, but the potential consequences if I am right, are worth my time in trying to let someone know. Thank you.
