""Keyless entry works inconsistently. Sometimes I have to reposition the key in my pocket so that it will work. Repositioning makes keyless entry less useful. Keyless entry also sometimes requires that I reposition my hand multiple times, which is annoying and reduces the usefulness of this feature. There is also no keyless entry sensor on either of the rear doors, so if I want to load something in the back seat while using keyless entry, I first have to touch the front door handle before I attempt to open the back door. This is an annoyance and not something that I would expect from a top trim level vehicle.""
