    @Jobyn Did you replace the battery? Bad battery can cause odd problems? An independent shop can do it as long as they have the computer to do the reprograming.

    The battery was checked. I brought it to my guy, and he said that he could do it for $500 or less. The dealership was charging me premium for the part and for reprogramming (as is their right to do). My guy has the computer to reprogram, so he said it wouldn't be an issue.

    So, early assessment by my guy is that the problem can't be recreated on his side. He thinks it might have been a water issue, because he found one of the plastic covers that snaps shut was not shut correctly. He's not certain, but is going to play around with it for a couple of days (through rain and a car wash) and see what happens.
