The vehicle is at the shop now. This has been going on FOR MONTHS! We typically take our vehicles to the dealership and everytime we have mentioned having to push in hard and turn it they have basically shrugged it off. They changed the starter out thinking that was the issue but apparently they should have known otherwise?
Anyways, it became a big issue when we were 600 miles from home, but we were still able to get it to start. Then a week ago, it took anywhere from 5-20 minutes to get the car to start. Unfortunately my husband had our reliable vehicle out of town and that left me in fear of going anywhere with our 2 year old because I was worried I would be stuck somewhere. I didn't even stop to get gas because I was worried I wouldn't be able to leave the gas station.
While I understand this issue happens, it sounds like a common enough occurrence that Ford should probably be discounting or covering in whole this issue. I will update when I get an "official" diagnosis.
