Consumer Description

I HAVE HAD MY FORD FOCUS FOR TWO YEARS. I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER FORD AGAIN. THE TIME I HAVE HAD MY FORD I'VE RECEIVED ABOUT 3 OR 4 RECALL NOTICES FOR MY CAR. JUST RECENTLY I HAD ANOTHER PROBLEM. THE IGNITION ON MY CAR COMPLETELY LOCKED, YOU COULDN'T EVEN TURN THE KEY. AFTER TALKING TO THE PERSON THAT TOWED MY CAR AND WAS TOLD THAT THEY HAVE SEEN THIS ON SO MANY OF THE FOCUS CARS I DID A SEARCH ON THE INTERNET AND FOUND OUT IT IS A MAJOR PROBLEM. IT COST ME ABOUT $450 JUST TO HAVE THEM FIX THE IGNITION. THIS IS A MAJOR CONCERN AND I FEEL THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THIS. *JB
