Apparently the keyless entry on Vlad the Impala does not work at my local Harris Teeter. The last time I was there, I noticed when exiting the store that I had to open my door with the key. I just assumed at the time that either a) there was a fault in the car's system since it's been flaky since new - most annoying symptom is not unlocking all the doors on the second button press like it's suppose to - or b) batteries finally going dead in the remote. Well, it worked when I got home and has been working since. Tonight I stopped at the store again on my way home from work and the remote again did not work when leaving the store. It worked again when I got home. Both times the "lock" command apparently worked as the doors were locked when I came out of the store, but they would not unlock without the key.
Is this some kind of active jamming that the store is doing to prevent people from unlocking other people's cars in the parking lot and ransacking their stuff? Or is this just an unintentional side effect of something else? It has only ever happened at this one Harris Teeter, and unfortunately I only have the one car with keyless entry so I can't say whether it affects any other vehicles.
