Key Fob Unlock Problem

So everytime I go to unlock my car with the key fob i have to get really close to the car like 5-10 ft away and then it will unlock. It will randomly unlock from far away too. I was wondering if this is a problem with the key's battery or something.

You don't drive far distances... Happens to me I only drive to work 5 miles a day. The longer u drive the more it's charged and further it will work from.

I'd try driving it a long distance like you said, and then when you get out of the car, try the distance. If it's fine right after driving, then it's probably a weak battery in the fob that's draining too quickly when you pull it from the dash.
