Consumer Description
THE IGNITION SWITCH MOVES IN IT'S HOUSING. MAKING THE DRIVER HAVE TO CRACK THE WHEEL BACK AND FORTH AND/ OR TURN THE KEY VERY HARD TO GET IT TO START. SOMETIMES GETTING IT STARTED IS NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE. THIS PART IS FAULTY. THERE SHOULD BE RECALL ON THIS IGNITION SWITCH. I HAVE BEEN DOING SOME RESEARCH ONLINE ABOUT THIS PROBLEM AND AM NOT THE ONLY ONE TO ENCOUNTER THIS ISSUE WITH THE 2008 FORD ESCAPE. IT IS NOT A PART THAT SHOULD FAIL AFTER ONLY 6 YEARS ON THE ROAD. *TR
