Consumer Description

I HAVE A STARTING PROBLEM. SOMETIMES THE CAR STARTS RIGHT AWAY, WHILE OTHER TIMES THE CAR STARTS THEN STALL'S. I HAVE TO WAIT A FEW SECONDS BEFORE TRYING TO START THE CAR AGAIN AND IT TAKES 5 TO 6 REVOLUTIONS TO GET THE CAR GOING. I HAVE BEEN IN CONTACT WITH SEVERAL DEALERS AND AT FIRST I WAS TOLD I DIDN'T KNOW HOW TO START THE CAR. SO I VIDEO TAPED THE CAR THEN SHOWED THEM THE PROBLEM. NOW I FIND OUT THAT OTHER OWNERS HAVE HAD SIMILAR PROBLEMS WITH THE CAR AND FORD KNOW'S ABOUT THIS BUT I CAN'T GET AN OFFICAL WORD ON THIS. MY QUESTION IS THIS, WHY DO THEY HAVE TO HIDE THIS, JUST TELL US THAT A PROBLEM IS EVIDENT AND THEY ARE WORKING ON IT. NOW MY DRIVERS SIDE AIRBAG GOES ON WHEN I AM DRIVEING MY CAR THEN GOES OFF. HELP.
