Hi all,
hoping for some advice please. I’m posting on behalf of my mom who has a 2014 automatic fiesta model. She doesn’t drive much and every winter has the same issue with car not starting immediately (some times up to 18 attempts). The error code key not detected flags up on dashboard. Over the years ford have told her it’s the battery on car so she has had new battery fitted, then they said it’s was the keys so she paid for replacement keys and problem still occurs. She is in her 70’s and I want her to still feel comfortable driving but she gets really stressed when the car won’t start. Any ideas what problem could be please, ford dealership not at all helpful. We have noticed the problem is always during winter months and wondered if it could be weather/damp related. The car has Walt’s had regular service with ford, she only drives short distances a couple of times a week. Any help much appreciated as I don’t want her to keep,spending money on a problem that’s not being resolved
