I just purchased a used 2006 Ford Freestyle that has an interesting issue. When i get out of the car and shut it off when filling up with gas or coming home I have to press the Unlock button on the remote before the engine will start again on re-entry.

This is not a major issue, but more of an annoyance. I am sure that this is a programming issue with the alarm system, but I have not found anything in the manual that has worked. I have also checked with the Ford dealer it was purchased from and they did not have any answers for me either.

Do you have any suggestions?

The dealer needs to scan the computer / security system to determine what is causing the problem. We know it shouldn't do that, and I'm sure you got a warranty from them. Take it to them and have them check the security system. They are the only ones with the proper test equipment to check the system.
