Key fob transmits but doesn't work. No start.

Drove to a baseball game today. After the game the JLUR won't unlock. The red light on the fob was blinking but the Jeep wouldn't unlock. I used the key to gain entry which set off the alarm. Pressing the Unlock, Lock and/or Panic buttons would not shut off the alarm. I pulled the horn fuse to stop drawing attention in the parking lot. After about 15 minutes or so the Jeep would lock/unlock with the fob. Got in and it started.

Anyone else have an issue like this? If so, what was the cause? Either way, I'll be calling the dealer tomorrow.

I park in a big concrete garage at my apartment and I am having this same problem. I brought mine to the dealership for some other work and mentioned this problem, and they weren't able to duplicate it so they said everything was working fine. Let me know if you come up with anything.
