hello, has anyone else has their new focus have a compete electric systems meltdown on starting? has happened to me on several occasions now (usually rights itself after turning off for 10 mins and restarting). all the electric systems start pinging warnings (eg, steering aid not available, esp service required, collision assist not available etc etc) and wipers/lights don't work! 

got it booked in for an investigation as still in warranty, but wondered if its a common occurrence.

    Your battery is in need of charging.

    Maybe our member @StephenFord could recommend a suitable one ? 😉

    thanks for the tip! Seems odd if that's the issue as i just did a 400mile trip 2 weeks ago and have been driving daily since. Happened again today so guess i'll find out at the service for sure!
