I had the same problem with my key fob. I am dangerous with a soldering iron though so I had the circuit testers at my work re-do the work and the FOB is back to being new. I had the car for about 18 months when my FOB started having the problem. I am sure that this is going to become a more common occurrence. I opened up my second Key FOB just to get a look at the soldering and I am sure this one will eventually detach as well, the quality of the job does not look good. Anyway, maybe I'll have some preventitive work done and have it re-soldered before it breaks
