Consumer Description

JUST PURCHASED A USED 2002 FORD FOCUS AND EVERYTHING WORKED JUST FINE UNTIL THE KEY WOULD NOT COME OUT OF THE IGNITION. THE LONGEST I HAVE SAT AND TRIED TO GET THE KEY OUT IS HALF AN HOUR AND FINALLY I JUST LEFT THE KEY IN THERE BECAUSE IT WAS RIDICULOUS. I WAS ABLE TO GET IT OUT THE NEXT DAY BUT THIS IS A CONSTANT PROBLEM AND IVE HEARD OTHERS TELL ME THAT THIS HAS HAPPENED IN THEIR FOCUS. THIS NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED BY FORD, NOT BY THOSE OF US HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THEIR PRODUCT.*AK
