Maybe your remote needs a new battery? Or, it's broken? I presume that the car starts?

Nope. battery on remote is fine. and remote works. the car does start and runs great no check "X" lights. all other buttons on fob works. this seems to be another issue. most likely with the car.

My son's Focus did the same thing 2017. Just took it in 8/13/18 and Ford had a fix for it after having the car months... Try the dealer again.
