Consumer Description
THE VEHICLE FAILED TO START 3 DIFFERENT TIMES. THE FIRST TIME WAS IMMEDIATELY AFTER PURCHASE OF THE VEHICLE - IT STARTED AFTER 30 MIN AND WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP. THEY REPLACED THE BATTERY AND NO ISSUES UNTIL 4 DAYS THEN IT OCCURRED AGAIN. THE VEHICLE WAS STOPPED AND PARKED OVERNIGHT AND WOULDN'T START THE NEXT MORNING. THE BATTERY HAD ENOUGH POWER - JUMP STARTING DIDN'T HELP. THE 3 TOW TRUCK WAS FINALLY CALLED INTO TOW THE VEHICLE TO THE FORD DEALERSHIP. THEY REPLACED THE IGNITION SWITCH AND THEN TOOK THE VEHICLE BACK UP TO THE PURCHASING DEALERSHIP. THEY DID A FULL REVIEW OF THE VEHICLE AND DIDN'T FIND ANY FURTHER PROBLEMS.
