Hello all. I need some help because I am close to the point of selling this car to an auction place just to be rid of it. 2015 Ford Fiesta SE Sedan. 59k miles. Purchased used in 2016 with roughly 28k miles. 2nd Owner. No remaining warranty. Mods: 10" Rockford Fosgate sub. Backup Camera on rear vi…

Obviously, this car should go back to the dealer because one day it will leave you stranded.Did Elvis work on your car? Look at the tech name.

Sidenote - the problem occurs with the car doors unlocked, locked, driver door open and driver door closed. None of that seems to make any difference. Day vs. night. Hot vs. cold. Humid vs. Dry. Just used it vs. Been sitting for X hours. None of that seems to make a difference either.

Yes, the car has been with the dealer since 5/10/19.

Yes, Elvis. I’m not sure if that is really his name or if it’s just a nickname they use for him there.

I would suspect a bad ignition switch.I suppose they checked it?

Yeah. It sounded kind of hookey and cost me $340. But the “bad” key was replaced. Going to a new dealer adds another $180 fee. So it is currently back at the same place that replaced the key.

That’s what I’m thinking too. I figure something within the ignition switch must recognize the key - like a sensor or something. My guess is there is an intermittent fault in whatever that part of the assembly is called.
