Does anyone else have this happen with their key fob?

Alright, so I don't put the keyfob in the slot that often, before I type out the rest, I do have comfort access if this matters.

I usually leave the fob in my pocket or jacket pocket and sometimes when I go up to the car and touch the handle it won't unlock or lock until I shake the jacket pocket to move the fob around and then it will work. So weak signal I assume.

If I get in the car and turn it on though, it won't show the battery and key symbol as if it was low (it does but not all the time).

This happens with BOTH of my keyfobs (keep in mind I've only had the car for 1 year (almost). I put the fob in the slot in the car once and was on the highway for an hour, after I got out, I heard the chime and saw on my dash the key and battery symbol AGAIN right before locking the door. It is kind of annoying.

Do I need to replace the battery in both of them? Can I even do this? Will the key have to be reprogrammed?

Thanks.
