I've had lots of trouble with my remote. The metal disks that make contact with the circuit board when you press the rubber button do not stay in place. There is a strange type of putty that is supposed to hold them but doesn't work anymore. Sometimes my remote will lock or unlock the doors repeatedly with the slightest vibration until I take it apart and put the button back in position. Maybe yours have slipped off as well.
