Consumer Description

I LEASED A 2000 FORD FOCUS FEBRUARY 16, 2002 THINKING THAT THIS WAS A GOOD INVESTMENT. I WAS WRONG. I HAVE HAD 3 RECALLS ON THE VEHICLE AND YES FORD FIXED THEM FOR FREE. NOW MY KEY IS STUCK IN MY IGNITION AND WILL NOT COME OUT NOR TURN TO START THE CAR. I DO NOT HAVE $500 TO FIX THE VEHICLE AS I AM A SINGLE PARENT BARELY MAKING ENDS MEET. I WAS TOLD THAT MY WARRANTY EXPIRED, THEREFORE I WOULD HAVE TO PAY THE EXPENSE. I DO NOT HAVE A CAR AND BECAUSE OF THIS, I WAS FORCED TO LEAVE MY JOB. I ALSO HAVE TO FIND A RIDE FOR MY 4 YEAR OLD SON TO GET BACK AND FORTH TO SCHOOL EVERYDAY. BAD INVESTMENT, I THINK SO.
