Default Smart Key Broken

So my car RUNS good but randomly i have to use my key to start the car and get in and out. It worked for months than randomly broke. Anyone know where to start to see what is broken??? im assuming it is some electronic that recognizes the key fob, and i have a feeling it is very expensive which if it is i may not fix it as i can still use the car but it kinda sucks as i enjoyed being able to start the car run inside if you forget something etc.If anyone experienced this or had the same issue please advise, you can PM me if you want to talk and ill give you my cell
