Explorer ST:
Car wouldn't start this morning. Dash illuminated but when hitting the start button it simply flashed the headlights like it was possessed. After messing around figured out I could get it to start by using remote start on the fob.
Drove to work, switched drivers and during the switch I took my foot of the brake. Car engine stopped. Dash went the mode it does when the engine isn't running. Blinking headlights, flashed dozens of times in a few seconds. Possessed. Restarted with fob remote start, hit the start button to begin driving. Everything seemed fine. Took foot off brake with driver door open, car engine stopped and dash went back to non-started mode. Did remote fob again, didn't remove foot from brake and put in drive, drove fine.
Called dealer, said I can bring it in tomorrow and have a loaner.
Ughhh!!!
FYI, *LOVE* the adaptive cruise and lane centering. Drove it in a traffic jam this morning and performmed extremely well. Love everything else. I've put 49 miles on it.
Makes weird actuator/servo noises if it's been off for a while and I open/close the doors.
