Consumer Description

I HAVE A 2000 FORD FOCUS AND MY STEERING COLUMN LOCKED UP IN DECEMBER OF 2002. I TOOK IT TO A FORD DEALERSHIP AND THEY REPLACED THE IGNITION. I HAVE BEEN HAVING ON AND OFF PROBLEMS WITH MY STEERING WHEEL LOCKING AND THE KEY NOT TURNING TO UNLOCK IT. LUCKILY BEFORE FEBRUARY 16, 2004 I WAS ABLE TO KEEP TRYING AND FINALLY UNLOCK IT. IT IS NOW LOCKED AGAIN AND THE SAME FORD DEALERSHIP IS SAYING THAT I WILL HAVE TO PAY AGAIN TO GET IT FIXED AND THAT THE PART WAS HAD A WARRANTY OF 12 MONTHS OR 12000 MILES. MY PARENTS HAVE A 1988 FORD ESCORT GT MY FATHER HAS A 1994 FORD MUSTANG GT AND MY MOTHER HAS A 1997 ACURA AND HAVEN'T HAD ANY PROBLEMS WITH THE STEERING LOCKING UP. I BELIEVE THAT SOMETHING IS DEFECTIVE IN THE 2000 FORD FOCUS CAUSING THE LOCK UP AND THAT FORD SHOULD HAVE A RECALL ON THIS BECAUSE I SHOULDN'T HAVE TO REPLACE THE IGNITION EVERY YEAR. *JB
