Consumer Description

MY WIFE DROVE OUR 1999 FORD TAURUS SE TO THE STORE AND WHEN SHE WENT TO LEAVE THE KEY WOULD NOT FIT IN THE IGNITION SWITCH. AFTER NUMEROUS ATTEMPTS SHE FINALLY GOT THE KEY IN BUT IT WOULD NOT TURN THE IGNITION SWITCH. HER AND MY KIDS WHERE STRANDED IN TOWN CLOSE TO HOME. BUT WITH ME BEING DEPLOYED IT COULD HAVE BEEN A LOT WORSE. I NEED TO KNOW IF THERE HAS BEEN ANY OTHER ISSUES WITH THE IGNITION SWITCHES GOING BAD ON THIS TYPE OF CAR. I CANT SEE A IGNITION SWITCH GOING BAD ON SUCH A FAIRLY NEW CAR. AND THE COST AND HASSLE YOU HAVE TO GO THROUGH TO GET THE SWITCH ,KEY AND THE KEY PROGRAMMED IS OUTRAGES. *JB
