2024 XLT ecoboost <1000 miles has not started on the first try twice now

[heartransplaant]

I purchased my 2024 XLT ecoboost with off road and 4k tow package in March 2025. It currently has about 830 miles on it and from mile 0 - 800 there were no issues. However, twice this week I got in the truck and went to start it and the car didn't start (or crank), the lights and dash did come on with no warnings. I took the key out and put it back in and same thing (no crank/no start) but lights come on. It wasn't until the 3rd or 4th try that it did end up starting and then ran without issue. Anyone have any similar experience? It seems like there may be some issues with the hybrids and faulty wiring/battery, but this is not a hybrid.

You have a fault. What codes are showing? Take it into the dealership and get it fixed.

10,000 miles on my very similar '24, and I've never once had this happen. There is an issue the dealer needs to look at here.

Haven't had problem with my 24 Mav but, I have had that problem on two other vehicles. It was due to a rat or a squirrel. Those two demons think vehicle wiring tastes like cotton candy. Takes about as long to locate the damage as it does to repair it. This could be your problem.

I also have 10k on my xlt ecoboost. Never had a problem. I agree that you should take it in and have it checked. Might as well use your warranty while you can.
