Consumer Description
THE IGNITION CYLINDER ON MY 2001 FORD FOCUS LOCKED UP LAST NIGHT AND WILL NOT ALLOW ME TO START THE CAR. THE STEERING WHEEL IS LOCKED, AND THE KEY WILL NOT TURN. THE DEALERSHIP SAYS I NEED TO REPLACE THE LOCK CYLINDER. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH ON THE INTERNET, I CAN SEE THAT THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM HAPPENING TO MANY PEOPLE, AND SOMETIMES IT HAPPENS MORE THAN ONCE. IF THIS IS THE CASE, FORD NEEDS TO OFFER A RECALL. PAYING $300+, PLUS TOWING IS NOT SOMETHING I WAS PLANNING ON PAYING. *AK
