Consumer Description

THE IGNITION ON MY 2001 FORD FOCUS "STUCK" ON ME THIS PAST JULY. I ENTERED MY VEHICLE AND INSERTED THE KEY. THE STEERING WHEEL WOULD NOT TURN...IT REMAINED IN THE LOCKED POSITION. ON 7/3/04, I HAD TO HAVE THE IGNITION REPLACED ON MY 2001 FORD FOCUS. THE DEALERSHIP INFORMED ME THAT THIS WAS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM ON THE FOCUS, HOWEVER THEY STILL CHARGED ME OVER $500 TO FIX THE PROBLEM. I HAD TO HAVE MY IGNITION DRILLED OUT AND REPLACED. THEY SAID THAT EVEN THOUGHT THEY HAD HAD MANY VEHICLES RETURNED FOR THIS PROBLEM, THAT FORD HAD NOT ISSUED A RECALL ON IT. *AK
