Do you get a different response when unlocking the vehicle with the key fob first? In this case, there may be some confusion in the anti-theft system which should be looked into by your local dealer. Often disabling the anti-theft system will immobilize the vehicle as if a thief were trying to disable the system in an attempt to steal the vehicle. Consider hiring an experienced technician like one from YourMechanic who can come out to take a closer look at the anti-theft issue and determine whether there is a simple fault or the vehicle needs to go back to the dealer for reprogramming.
