Touch handle acting up
When I went to my car to head out after work, I grabbed the handle expecting the car to unlock. First try, nothing happened..a couple more tries it unlocked as usual.
I went to the gym, did my workout. This time, the door handle worked fine.
Is this a sign that the key fob battery may be dieing? I guess if it keeps doing it I can grab the other remote and see what happens...just curious if others have had the same issue.

My salesperson advised me to have the fob battery changed whenever it takes more than one or two pulls to unlock the door. It is a sign that your battery is getting weak.
And, as Philip mentioned above, keep it away from other electronics that may "communicate" with it in your home--thereby shortening it's life.

You can find multi packs on eBay for under $10 (including shipping). I just ordered some (there are no "specialty battery stores" near me--I didn't even know such a thing existed until CL. And Target doesnt stock them: CR1632.
Never had that happen but recently I had an issue trying to get out of the car.Door opened partially and then would open all the way like it was still locked.Another electronic glitch.
5 Panasonic #1632 made in Japan batteries for the same cost.

eBay is definitely the cheapest route, but if you need one in a hurry and don't have a battery specialty store nearby, you can find the battery in the parts department of Lexus, Toyota and Saab dealers. (The new Camry and Saab 9-5 both use the CR1632).
