Default Keyless door handles not locking all the time

Once in a while I have difficulty locking the doors using the keyless button on the door handles when I'm standing right next to the vehicle (driver side typically). Has there been a TSB on this issue? I did a quick search in the forum and on WK2Jeeps.com site for any posts or Bulletin.

I'm guessing you probably have a finger inside the handle when pushing the button.

Yup! I had this same issue at first. Then when I stopped grabbing the door handle while trying to lock the door, the problem wet away! Lol! Try just pushing the button without touching the door handle. Works for me every time!

I have had the same issue as noted above only to find I was also touching the back of the handle. After I made an effort not to do that I still had issues at times. I figured out that if it is too close to my phone the signal gets messed up. So if you are not touching the back of the handle make sure the fob is not close to your phone.
