Sorry. I “piggy-backed” on this thread hoping the original poster would reappear to let us know what they ended up doing with their ford escape. I started my own thread after that.

> 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.

To answer your question - no chargers or anything at all plugged into the USB or charging ports. There is a garage door opener under the sun visor. I haven’t tried removing that from the car and driving it for awhile. It’s at the dealership now.
