NHTSA Complaint #10587223 — 2012 FORD FOCUS

THIS CAR HAS BEEN THE SHOP 4 TIMES FOR THE SAME PROBLEM. THE CAR RANDOMLY DOES NOT START FOR A PERIOD OF TIME, ABSOLUTELY NO RHYME OR REASON. IT DOES START EVENTUALLY. EVERYTHING ELECTRICAL COMES ON, INTERIOR LIGHTS, A/C, HEATER, RADIO, EXTERIOR LIGHTS, JUST NO ENGINE. THE PROBLEM ONLY OCCURS AFTER BEING DRIVEN. IN OTHER WORDS, IT NEVER HAPPENS FIRST THING IN THE MORNING AFTER SITTING ALL NIGHT, IT NEVER HAPPENS AFTER A FULL WORK DAY (SITTING 8 HOURS). THE LONGEST PERIOD OF TIME IT HAS SET AND STILL NOT STARTED IS ABOUT 3 HOURS. THE PROBLEM ALSO NEVER OCCURRED UNTIL THEY HAD TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION. *TR
