I have a 99 Grand Prix, but I don't think the model makes a difference
here.

Has anyone had troubles with crappy range on their keyless
entry/security system remotes? Mine doesn't work 90% of the time until
I hold it OVER the car. Behind the car (at waist level) will never
work.

I've replaced the battery in the remote and it didn't help.

Has anyone had a similar issue and been able to do anything about it?

Thanks

i have the same problem with my 1996 pontiac sunfire. i have to stand
right next to the car for the remote to work and have replaced the
battery in the remote as well as my second remote and still have the
problem today along with many other engine and transmision problems.
but using the manual key locks wasnt a option until i fixed them just
recently since they were all sticking. but some lock eaze fixed that.

Try this trick. Hold the remote under your chin against your jaw bone.
When my car/remote was new, the remote range was decent and with the
jawbone trick it worked from really far away.
