Key Fob Stops Working Intermittently

I tried to unlock the door at the gas station with the key fob and it would not unlock.  I had to manually unlock the door.  This has occurred twice since I purchased the 2012 Jeep Compass Latitude last June.  What is causing this issue and what needs to happen to fix this?
