How did you program the new fob? It could definitely be an electrical issue. I would image any mechanical shop or dealer would be willing to work on this. Will the car lock/unlock from the door switch?

I would start by checking your fuses. I'm pretty sure a dealer is required for key fob programming on this vehicle. The first photo is your interior fuse panel. The second photo will have two fuses and #36 is a relay.
