NHTSA Complaint #10091034 — 2001 FORD FOCUS

I HAVE HAD MY CAR IN 5 TIMES TO FIX THE IGNITION. THE FIRST TWO TIMES I BELIEVE THE A CYLINDER IN THE IGNITION WAS REPLACED, THE THIRD TIME THE SAME PART WAS REPLACED AND I WAS GIVEN A NEW KEY. THE FOUR TIME THE CAR STARTED AT THE DEALERSHIP AND I WAS TOLD I JUST DIDN'T TRY TO START MY CAR PROPERLY AND DID I KNOW HOW TO START A STICK SHIFT (I HAVE HAD A STICK FOR THE LAST 14 YEARS). THE FIFTH TIME THEY REPLACED THE WHOLE IGNITION SYSTEM. NOTHING HAPPENED TO CAUSE ANY OF THESE PROBLEMS I WOULD JUST GO OUT TO START MY CAR AND THE KEY WOULD NOT TURN ALL THE WAY AND THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT START AND WOULD HAVE TO BE TOWED. ALL OF THESE HAVE HAPPENED IN LESS THAN ONE YEAR. ALSO PERIODICALLY THOUGHT OUT THIS WHOLE TIME THE IGNITION WOULD STICK AND THE CAR WOULD NOT START, AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS HOWEVER IT WOULD WORK. THE INCIDENT DATE I AM USING IS THIS FIFTH TIME. *AK
