keyless entry not working at times

2007 equinox with 4000 miles 8 months old went to the shop for an oil change two week ago now when the car sits for a few hours the remote keyless entry won't work. You can open the car with the key(and the horn blows until you insert the key)then it will lock and unlock as long as you sit there and push the buttons. Wait a couple of hours and guess what no work! Only other problems is a popping from the steering when you turn like into a driveway and a squeaking coming from the left rear wheel when you enter or exit the vehicle at times sounds like a wheel trim ring flexing but no trim ring. Naturally the dealer can't duplicate anything! Lots of room in the rear seating area. Don't wast your money on the plastic organizing tray for the back-cost $80 and can do better at dollar store for less than $5 Otherwise pretty decent vehicle for $22,000. Any Ideas on the problems with Keyless entry?

FYI My dealer finally was able to fix the keyless entry and the popping in the front. Both had a TSB on them. Keyless entry had to have the key fobs and transmitter replaced and the popping was front lower control arm bushings had to be replaced. So far so good.
