Car will not start. Will respond to a jump but will not start after running for awhile again. Then it starts with a bit of hesitation for awhile and then back to needing a jump.

The tachometer and speedometer have a auto dim at night time . Can not read speedometer at dusk or dawn when driving under overhead led street lights that leave glare on windshield. Auto dimmer has no adjustment to brighten past certain brightness. Lights in other ford vehicles work differently then focus as bought 2017 escape and does not have this problem
