Some Dodge Durango owners report experiencing intermittent starting issues attributed to key fob malfunctions, often caused by a drained key fob battery. Additionally, faulty ignition switches and malfunctioning crankshaft position sensors may contribute to these starting problems. Owners have noted signs of key fob battery issues, such as a gradual loss of range before complete failure, which indicates a weakening battery. Even after replacing the battery, some still face persistent issues, suggesting other underlying problems. In rare instances, attempted thefts that intercept the fob signal can lead to intermittent issues with the vehicle's signal receiver. Warning signs of push-button start problems include inconsistent system behavior, like needing multiple button presses to start the vehicle. Understanding these factors can help owners troubleshoot key fob issues more effectively.
