Default Key fob SNAFU

Just today when I use the fob transmitter to unlock the doors it also opens the engine compartment...anyone else have this happen?

Thanks

At least yours opened something. At times, my key fob fails completely, leaving me to remove the door plug from the keyhole and manually unlock the car - very embarassing to say the least.
