55PD Co-pilot intermittent problem.

My 55PD motor has built in i-pilot and co-pilot, and operates only from the remote; it is the newer remote. The problem I have is that sometimes it doesn't react to key presses. Sometimes you have to press the steering key 5or6 times before the unit reacts, then sometimes it continues to turn about a 1/4 turn after the key is released. All my connections are good and I've tried new batteries in the remote but the problem remains. I'm making sure I have a clean line of sight to the motor as well. I've contacted Minn Kota and they were wonderful to deal with. They sent me a new remote, but I still have the problem. I'd like to know if anyone else's acts this way. The motor is certainly usable and I love it, and maybe that's the way they operate. Can anyone tell me, who has one, if it should react on every key press? Maybe I'm expecting too much to expect that it should react to each and every key press.
