Change the ignition switch because the car wouldn't start worked for for two months and it went out again the mechanic said it was the part so I exchanged the part lets see how long this will last. I was having problems with the ignition switch at 90000 miles what a piece of junk the car has to be causing a short and Ford should of have a recall on the ignition switch years ago there is way to many complaints
