Consumer Description

THE CAR WILL FREQUENTLY FAIL TO START. SOMETIMES IT WILL START AS EXPECTED. SOMETIMES IT WILL TAKE MANY TRIES AND 15-20 MINUTES OF TRYING BEFORE STARTING. IT BEHAVES THE SAME WAY WHETHER IN THE GARAGE, PARKING LOT, OR ON THE STREET. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALER FOR REPAIR SEVERAL TIMES THIS YEAR. THIS TIME THEY HAVE HAD THE CAR FOR ABOUT 4 WEEKS AND ARE UNABLE TO REPAIR THE CAR. THEY ARE WAITING FOR SOMEONE FROM FORD TO EXPLAIN HOW TO REPAIR IT.
