Default That **** Panic Button!

Has anyone else noticed that the panic button has a major flaw with it? It is not recessed, it sticks out above the frame. Atleast once a week with the keys in my pocket I lean against something or just sit down and it sets the panic alarm off. All of my other remotes including the one for my 07 Tundra have a recessed button and have never gone off.

My Camry was a year old yesterday, and I've never set it off. Maybe you need to quit trying to squeeze into those jeans you squeezed into in college.

I've had mine now for over a year and a half and it have never happend to me. You might want to carry your keys in a different pocket or some where else if it keeps up.

The panic button on my fob does not stick up above the frame. I've had mine for over 1 year and have not had any problems.

I have never had mine go off either.

I do have this bad habit, though, of playing with the fob in my pocket while I am wearing dress pants at work (well, Dockers, not that dressy). I constantly push the key release button on the side of the fob, and "click" the key back into place. People probably think I am playing with something else!

Maybe my button is just weak.

I can count 5 other remotes I have had from past cars on the same ring and never had the problem. I do not keep my fob seperate though, it is on the ring with my other keys.

I meant to mention that - I carry ONLY the fob in my pocket. I have no other keys attached to it.
