Consumer Description

I OWN A 2000 FORD FOCUS THAT HAS HAD THE SAME PROBLEM HAPPEN TO IT AGAIN. APPROX. 2 YEARS AGO WE HAD TO HAVE THE ENTIRE STEERING COLUMN REPLACED BECAUSE THE MECHANISM HAD LOCKED AND WOULD NOT ALLOW US TO TURN THE KEY. IT HAS HAPPENED AGAIN AND THERE IS NOTHING WE CAN DO TO GET THE KEY TO TURN IN THE IGNITION. THIS IS RIDICULOUS AND WE THINK THAT THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL OR SOMETHING DESIGNATED TO ASSIST WITH THIS PROBLEM. A 2000 MODEL SHOULD NOT HAVE THIS MANY PROBLEMS WITH ITS STEERING MECHANISMS. INFO BELOW IS APPROPRIATE TO LATEST INCIDENT. *AK
