RVAS69. Why don't you mention it the next time your car is in service. Maybe they can replace the opener.

Oh yes. I had forgotten about that one.
My Lexus, same thing.. Could open it several houses away.
This one? I have to be on top of the garage to open it. And often it won't go on the first try. Really irritating. Embarrassing, even (if the neighbors are watching. and they do watch)
Also the fact that it doesn't work when the vehicle is powered down. Every other car I ever owned would operate the garage door when turned off. I don't even care why - I know this beast consumes unholy amounts of power to drive all of it's cool little things, but still.
