Takes two to three attempts to start car when stopped for a short time like at the Grocery store or Lunch or even getting more fuel. I have the extended warranty and have made two trips to Serramonte Ford of Colma CA to get it repaired among other things, but Serramonte Ford is too inept to repair it. I need some ideas on what could be wrong, so I can get an Independent shop to verify in writing and Force ford to pay for the repair.

Before the pain in the ass engine light problem I am now dealing with, one time the car would not start. The steering was locked and key would not turn. I call my auto repair club service who could not fix the problem. We called the ford dealer, who sent out a repair man to help with the problem. After an 1-1/2 hours and attempting different techniques he finally, got the car started.
