problem #2

Oct 012015

Focus

  • Automatic transmission
  • 65,789 miles

since the first day I bought the car 6/30/11, I noticed it was tricky to start. Always had to push key in and turn. This year it started getting worse. Recently, I have to push in and turn key with all my strength just to get it to start. I called dealership and they knew right away what it was, said it's a focus thing. I called my mechanic and he said it's a focus thing is there a recall and I had to say NO. Why is this not a recall? Especially if it happens to all the focus cars.
