Hey guys, I bought my first car ( that was newer than 25 years old) back in december, a 2013 ford focus SE. I love the car and it's amazing. Here recently I've been noticing some issues. ..
Obviously sync has issues so I won't even start there. So starting just this week actually, it's been having issues starting. Like I have to crank it 2-3 times. No clicking or noise just doesn't do anything. I don't think it's battery because everything starts up and turns on fine the engine just won't turn over, when the key is turned the dash lights slightly dim but I don't hear any sounds being made by the engine. I want to say that's just due to this crazy cold (us Texans arnt used to it lol) but not sure.
And now today when I turned it off after school, the radio went instantly off instead of when the door was opened and the gauges where going crazy. They where trying to point down below the bottom of where they should sit when the vehicle is off. Then on the drive to work the screen by the gauges would beep and say hill start assist not available, then immediately dissappear the light and everything just on an off. I've never used hill start assist so I'm not sure what's going on here.
I should be under warrenty, there's only 17 thousand miles on the car. I don't see why it's starting to have issues all of a sudden. Has anyone else had these issues?
Thanks for any replies and sorry if format is awful on mobile
