I've always hated the push button start in my Fusion Sport.
Always thought it was an unnecessary and annoying 'geegaw' addition to the car.
Seems like every manufacturer is trying to make their cars like a Lamborghini or Ferrari with this feature.
Now I know why it's a useless POS feature!
BTW: Wouldn't putting your key fob in a piece of heavy tin foil work just as well???
and cost....maybe .000001 cent.

I like the PBS, like normal, the design is FUBAR probably to save $$$. The car should broadcast in a 2' radius and fob handshake.
Maybe the manufacturers will correct but doubt it because it will cost 73¢ per car more.
I can only hope the insurance companies will sue them and then we might see a change.
