Has anyone had a Keyless entry remote problem?

Im checking to see if anyone else has had this keyless entry problem, my problem is that my keyless entry worked fine up into a few days ago when i went to use it, it didnt respond so i figure maybe its the battery and change the battery in the remote, but still no response, so i try to reprogram the remote using the guide found in the stickies but it still does not respond so at this point im lost as to what could be causing this!

the keyless entry module is in your trunk next to your antenna. i think you have to take out the jack to get to it but i dont remember off the top of my head.
if you can unplug the white plug going to the box and then plug it back in and try again.
this happened to me and it worked instantly i didnt even need to reprogram the remote.

One of the two original keyless remotes died on me. Tried replacing the battery, but still didn't work. I got a replacement unit on Ebay, put in a fresh battery and reprogrammed it for with my car. Works fine.

You have to pull the trunk liner back right where the jack access panel is to get to the entire unit, though you may be able to just reach in behind the trunk liner to just un/replug the harness. It's not behind the metal trunk panel where the jack and antenna are, but on the other side, 'inside' the trunk. Could've sworn I had a picture...can't seem to find it though.

Mine works intermittently, sometimes I have to press the unlock button multiple times, and long presses before it registers and unlocks the driver's door. Also locking it, I've set off the alarm by accident before trying to lock the doors and setting the alarm, because none of the buttons work 100% of the time.

Actually...the dome light button strangely seems to work perfectly every time, just the trunk, lock, and unlock buttons are fritzy.
