Whats the nature of the problem?, will the key work at distance? or only when right up against the car?, There`s a common problem with these cars where the diversity antenna stops working properly causing it to stop picking up the radio waves from the key.
If this is the case then the diversity antenna needs replacing, it`s located behind the third brake light top of the rear window.
