    Remote started my car this morning with no problems. I drove 5 blocks to my mechanic to get an alignment. On exiting the vehicle after turning the vehicle off and closing the door, I tried to lock the door by remote and nothing happened. The lights didn't flash and doors would not lock. I started and turned off the car hoping to reset the system. I closed the doors and tried remote again. Nothing happened. Any suggestions?

    I bought the Avenger last Fall (2013) with 200,000 kms on it. The remote start on the key fob worked fine. Now all of a sudden the remote start works but the car will shut off after about 5-10 seconds. All the other key fob functions still work. Help?

    When the key is turned off electrical does not work door locks will not work, remote car start will not work. When starting the car there is a several second hesitation before it turns over and then runs just fine also the clock resets to 12 each time.
