Yep, time to start replacing stuff! I did the driver's door handle, door lock actuator, rebuilt the key cylinder, and replaced the FZV module (the wireless receiver for the keyless entry, only one of several ways the keyless entry system fails) in the past 12 months. The only thing I haven't had to do is replace any diamond fobs, miraculously. I am terrified of the same thing happening. I suggest you start getting things replaced and make sure the entry means is reliable!
