For example it could be because the button is worn out. This will only cause the button to work a few times but not continuously.

Interference

The key fob is powered by a tiny transmitter that sends out an extremely short-range signal to a device in your car. Its goal is to enable your car to recognize the fob and then open its doors when you come close to it, as well as start when you push the ignition button within.

The problem is, interference can interfere with that communication. For example, if you have your second-generation Apple Pencil charged while you're holding the fob, it can stop you from unlocking the car (via iGeneration).

Other electronic devices operating on the same frequency can also interfere with the fob's signal. Garage door openers or tire-pressure monitoring devices can be affected. A transmitter in your home could be causing interference, but this is not easy for an expert to test.
