Consumer Description

MY 2001 FORD FOCUS SE WAGON HAD ITS IGNITION SWITCH MALFUNCTION. FORD DEALERSHIP SAID GRAPHITE AND/OR WD40 WOULD NOT FIX IT, THAT IT HAD TO BE REPLACED. IT COST USD$440 AND I LOST A FULL DAY'S PAY. THE TOW TRUCK DRIVER SAID HE'S RESPONDED TO 24 CALLS ON FORD FOCUS IGNITION FAILURES. I FOUND A WEBSITE CALL WWW.AUTOMOTIVETALK.NET WHERE 85 PEOPLE HAVE MADE COMPLAINTS ON THE IGNITION SWITCH THIS YEAR. WHAT DO WE HAVE TO DO TO START A RECALL. THIS IS A NEW CAR AND SHOULD NOT BE HAVING THIS PROBLEM. I AM NOT ALONE, AS I HAVE READ MANY POSTINGS ON THE SAME PROBLEM. I CAN BE EMAILED AT [email protected]. THX, LAURA *JB
