    My Mirage: 15k Update (Slight Key Warning Issue)

    Hi, everyone.

    It's been since April 21st that I drove my silver 2015 Mirage off the lot. Since then, I've put about 15k miles on the engine and it has won a lot of hearts from my family and friends. I do oil changes every 5k miles sharp.

    Since about 1,700 miles, I have noticed that the key chime goes off as if I've left the keys inside the vehicle. This happens when I open the vehicle door to get in or out, but sometimes, it doesn't happen for weeks. I know there is something wrong with it. But beyond that issue, which I still need to have fixed, this little kitten purrs beautifully. I would totally buy the car again if I had it to do over!

    Any input on this is appreciated.

    I had an issue when I had my phone in the same pocket as the keyless remote. Could also be a low battery issue in the transmitter.

    I noticed this long ago as well. I thought my key fob was on the outs, then noticed it was always when I had my keys in the same pocket as the phone. More specifically when the phone was between the car and the keys.

    Yah, that was exactly my experience also.
