So... bought the daughter a 2012 SE fiesta. She complained of the brakes going soft for no reason and also sometimes wouldnt start.
battery is newish... made 05/21, good battery.
Swapped vehicles with her until i can figure this out.
Brakes. bled them, still goes soft inconsistently. had a garage bleed them, still goes to the floor sometimes.
mechanic says maybe a bad wheel speed sensor or ABS or master cylinder.
thats problem number 1 of many
the starting. I get up for work, starts up strong no issues. 8 hours at work, starts up no issues.
I stop and get gas. refuses to start. i have to wait like 5 10 minutes. When it does this, the panel comes up, gas guage everything, just no start. the starter is not clicking when this is happening. meanwhile, i can not shift it out of park
this happens only when the car is warm but not always if that makes sense. not sure if its a transmission problem
or a security lockout thing malfunctioning.
I already went through alot of internet posts but found nothing. I already addressed the poor ground connection hoping
it would correct the start issues but it has not.
Any help would be appreciated.
