Help me find my car key! It's a 2020 Nissan Sentra.

[CTyankee]

we were out getting our covid shot, hubby was driving. When we got home I checked to find my car key and couldn't find it.

No problem. Hubby has his.

I deduced my key was in the car. Why? Once we were in the house (car engine off) I unlocked the car with his key and left it in the house with door shut.

I got in the car and pressed the starter and the car started.

So does that mean MY key is somewhere in the car?

But I can't locate it!

1. When did you last have it or used it

First thing to do is calm down, I do this all the time.

It's either on you or in the car

This is a keyless ignition, correct?

[CTyankee]

3. I have looked in my handbag and my coat pockets. No pocket my pants or shirt.

I will slide the seats in case they are under one.

I already checked the ground where the car door is near. Will try glove compartment.

[MacKasey]

16. I went crazy for a day looking for my fob

And then I looked in the back seat and there it was with the other stuff that I had in my hand.

I had even called Subaru about getting a new one.

But you need to relax , have a cup of tea and something to eat, when you stop thinking so hard it may come to you

[CTyankee]

21. Just got it! A flashlight and peering deeper between seat and gear thingie I saw it and was

miraculously able to fish it out. I'll have to find a large keyring.

2. Could it be under one of the seats?

I had that happen to me. The key was lodged in a place that could not be seen.

Getting the key out from under that seat was no fun, either.

Good luck.

[CTyankee]

5. That sounds promising. As you probably know, these so called keys are really what I would call

a "fob." And it's great that you can start the car and get it warming up from your house.

I'll try sliding the seats all the way backward and all the way forward.

[CTyankee]

18. YOU GET THE PRIZE! I used a flashlight and there they were, on floor, wedged in!

My dealer's service dept. quoted me a charge of $289 to replace it!.

What I have to do is find a bigger key fob that can't fall between the seat and middle of the car.
What do you suggest?

[Sogo]

22. Put it on a lanyard and wear it.

29. Put it on something that you can

put over your wrist. Then, when you get it out of your purse or pocket, you can wear it while you are getting it out or putting it away.

Or else, find a really large key chain. I have one of those that has an "M" on it. It is too big to lose.

Someone suggested a lanyard. I like that idea better.

[CTyankee]

30. I just ordered a flamboyant large key ring in light pink. It's actually a bracelet.

I can slip it on my wrist.

[MicaelS]

32. Get one of those bright colored coiled stretch lanyards.

The kind that has a clip on one end. Find a place to clip it to, even if you have glue a loop somewhere.

Or use velcro. Put one piece on the interior, the other to the back of the fob.

4. Check the last place you will look

That always works for me

[CTyankee]

6. Hubby says that to me all the tiime. I just think I am old.

[Major Nikon]

8. When that place is your pants pocket, you are definitely old

[CTyankee]

9. Nope. I'm wearing pocketless pants and shirt. I already searched the raincoat and purse.

I will look in other jackets I wear occasionally.

[Bayard]

7. Could you have dropped them where you were vaccinated?

Maybe someone turned them in.

[CTyankee]

12. I'll call Griffin Hospital. They might have it, but I'm doubtful, however, worth trying.

[Pobeka]

10. To help the search, take a good flashlight to see in all the nooks/crannies around the seat.

Not that I've ever had to do that, oh no

[CTyankee]

13. OK!

[CTyankee]

19. I JUST DID! Found them. Now I need to find a great big key ring of some sort.

[Sogo]

24. Put it on a lanyard and wear it.

[CTyankee]

26. hmm. what about this? in the light creamy color?

[Sogo]

27. Nice!

[CTyankee]

28. I like the lanyard idea too.

[Pobeka]

25. Woo hoo! Glad you found it! n/t.

[Phoenix61]

11. Drive the car away from the house. If it stops you'll know

the key isn’t in the car or on the ground near it.

[CTyankee]

14. I'll do it tomorrow when I need to shop...

[PoindexterOglethorpe]

15. If it's a keyless car, it won't stop no matter how far you drive it from the fob.

But you should not be able to lock it if there's one inside. At least my Honda won't let me do that.

[MacKasey]

17. I just watched video about 2020 Nissan sentra

You need to make sure your husband fob is 33 ft away from car. If it is and the car still starts, the key is in the car or close by

I hope this link works

20. Got it! on floor between seat and middle of car interior. Used flashlight. My old body ain't

too bad if I could pull that one off.

[MacKasey]

23. Congratulation!!

[leighbythesea2]

31. Once lost my phone

Somehow in snow bank along walk, to door.. Car key once went under mat and down under gas petal. Weird stuff happens.

Have to say i immediately thought of this comedy video, and now do anytime someone loses their keys.
Jo Koys Filipino Mom..., warning he swears. Keys start at 1 minute mark.

But this was moms everywhere....
