First, I could not use the FOB to unlock the doors, I had to separate the key from the fob. The engine would not start due to all of the Brake System Problems (Brake system, ALB system, Brake Hold, Electric Parking Brake and VSA system.) Couldn't get towed because the transmission was locked, and the tires would then be dragged. After the battery was completely drained, I was able to get a jump. The dealer claims that I don't drive enough each day/week to fully charge the battery/alternator. I drive about 4 miles to work, then four miles back home about three or four times each week, and I do let the car sit for sometimes three days without starting. However, I think there is an underlining issue with the electrical system that is draining the battery, or some other issue locking me out of the car.
