I THEN PHONED THE ROAD SIDE DSERVICE. WHEN THEY ARRIVED IT SATARTED. THE CAR WAS TAKEN TO QUIRK FORD VIA THE ROAD SIDE DSERVICE. THAEY WERE UNABLE TO FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR. THE SAME CONDITION HAS OCCURED 4 MORE TIMES. THE SECOND TIME WAS THE DAY I TOOK IT INFOR THE 6,000 MILE CHECK-UP. IT ACTUALLY WOULD NOT START FOR THE TECHNICIAN. THE NEXT DAY I WAS TOLD THEY HAD TO PROGRAM THE THE PPATS KEYS WITH THE NGS SYSTEM. THAT WAS ON MAY 30,01. ON JUNE 10 IN OUR DRIVEWAY IT OCCURRED. IT FINALLY STARTED AFTER MULTIPLE TIRES AND PUSHING AND FIDGETING THE KEY IN THE IGNITION. THEN ON JUNE 13 IT HAPPENED TWICE, ONCE IN THE MORNING AND ONCE IN THE EVENING. AGAIN THE SAME ORDEAL FIDDLE, PUSH, SHOVE, TRY NOT TO THINK YOU ARE STRANDED. I AM CALLING QUIRK FORD TOMORROW AM AND WILL ALSO REPORT TO THIS TO FORD MAIN HEADQUARTERS. DO I HAVE ANY RECOURSE? *AK
