Getting terrible gas mileage only about 17 miles to the gallon, had 60 miles on car when leased and they told me to wait till I had a 1000 miles now have 2000 miles and still getting lousy mileage. Also, stop/start does not seem to be working. Also kick plate on back doesn't work well. Well, now try to take it in.

After having intermittent problems with the remote start not working, I attempted to start the vehicle from the Ford pass app while my car was parked in an uncovered lot, which did not start. I started remotely from the key fob and loaded my infants car seat into the car, put my bag in the car, and shut the door. After closing the door, I heard the locks click, and the engine shut off. I was locked out of my car with my keys and baby locked in and the engine off. I was able to unlock the car from the app because my phone was in my pocket when I shut the door, but otherwise, would have trapped my newborn in a hot car with no way to unlock.
