Consumer Description
RETURNED HOME FROM AN HOUR TRIP AND PULLED INTO MY DRIVEWAY. TURNED OFF THE CAR, WENT INSIDE, CAME OUT 30 MINS LATER, ATTEMPTED TO START THE CAR AND DEAD SILENCE. RADIO AND ALL OTHER ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS WERE STILL WORKING. CHECKED THE ODB WITH AN ODB READER AND NO CODES. CALLED AAA WHO CAME OUT AND TESTED THE BATTERY AND FOUND IT FULLY CHARGED AND WORKING. THEY THEN CHECKED SEVERAL FUSES AND ALL WORKED FINE. AS A LAST RESORT, HE COMPLETELY PULLED AND DISINFECTED THE BATTERY, WAITED 2-3 MINUTES RECONNECTED IT, WAITED ANOTHER 2-3 MINUTES AND THEN THE CAR STARTED. HE FELT IT HAD SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE UNIT-THEFT SHUTTING DOWN THE CAR PREVENTING THE KEY TO TURN. CALLED FORD AND THEY NEVER HEARD OF IT. WENT ONLINE AND FOUND A NUMBER OF ISSUES RELATING TO FORD VEHICLES, NEWER, AS IN 2010 AND NEWER THAT ENCOUNTER THIS ISSUE AND/OR A GROUND ISSUE DUE TO PAINTING ON THE GROUND AREA. CONCERN IS, THIS TIME IT SHUT DOWN IN MY DRIVEWAY, WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF IT SHUTDOWN WHILE BEING DRIVEN?
