Gravity Bugs / Issues

[Bdr100]

Who knows, maybe they brushed it off because they’re sick of everyone bringing it up to them every 5 mins when an email went out acknowledging the issue and timeframe it would be resolved in.

FWIW - 2 months in and my key has worked with very minimal issues. Probably needed to use the card 2 or 3 times. For some though, even that seems to be unacceptable.

I view the key card as being an emergency key such as the mini key that is embedded inside most keyless fobs for past 20+ years. It is there only if the main key, either the fob or the eventual phone as key, acts up and doesn’t work. In the 20+ years of my using keyless fobs, I have had to resort to the emergency key maybe 2 or 3 times, which was usually due to dead fob battery.
So, having to use the key card once a month on average might be OK for now in light of the dumpster fire that is the current fob situation, the long term goal should be that the fob and eventual phone as key work well enough that you very rarely need to dig it out of your wallet except maybe to use it as a valet key.

I texted the service manager who is going to replace our HUD next week and try to get to the bottom of our frozen nav system to ask him to add the key fob issue we're having to the work order. He agreed to but said this was the first he'd heard of any key fob issues with the Gravity. I asked whether he had heard anything about a new front console being developed to deal with key fob antenna wiring issues in the current one, but he said he had heard nothing about that, either.

I'm not sure that they are developing/have developed a new front console for key issues. I've had both consoles in my car and both have worked fine for starting the car minus 2 random instances which I attribute to software glitches as it worked normally a few min later (and the 10min of time after the new one was installed and it was discovered that it needed to be reprogrammed to the car for the key to work). I'm still baffled by your key issues.

I took this photo tonight while at practice. If you zoom in you can see my Gravity I'm the distance of maybe 150-200 feet. My fob was turning the car on from this distance until I moved it over to my left pocket instead.

And people slagged on the Gravity for looking “like a minivan”. Pffft!!! No disrespect to minivans or minivan drivers (I was one for years), but people who make such comments have no idea about automotive design. Your Gravity looks nothing like the frumpy Toyota Sienna parked in front of it. The Gravity is a beautiful driving machine, and not a mere appliance.
