Apologies if this has already been covered but this is making my life a nightmare.

Im on my fourth straight diesel fiesta all from new all covered over 110,000 miles.No problems no clutches nothing.

I bought a 2013 1.6 titanium x recently.2000 miles from trust ford.it is immaculate.

For a driving school there are a lot of things i really dont like about it like rear visibility with the larger mirror and rear tinted glass but i can live with them but this power button.........

It wont start up after a stall unless it is totally stationary...Most times a pupil stalls the car is going so slow it is not a problem but the odd time they are moving at a rolling speed in a place you just dont want to stop.

Old car drop the clutch or turn the key and you can continue and discuss later.

This car i have to stop dead.

Ford tell me they are all like this inc focus...i wonder if this is true and if so can i get a turn key retro fitted.

Many thanks and i would appreciate any input.
