Consumer Description

2000 FORD FOCUS -- IGNITION KEY ASSEMBLY, HE IGNITION CORE FELL OUT OF MY DAUGHTERS FOCUS FOR THE SECOND TIME. THIS ASSEMBLY IS BEING WARRENTY REPLACED THIS SECOND TIME SINCE IT WAS DONE AT LOCAL DEALERSHIP, HOWEVER THE DEALERSHIP SAYS OTHER ADJACENT COMPONENTS WERE DAMAGED (COSTING ~ $650). HAD THE IGNITION ASSEMBLY BEEN FIXED CORRECTLY THE FIRST TIME, THERE IS NO WAY THE ADJACENT COMPONENTS COULD HAVE FAILED. THE DEALERSHIP LITHIA FORD OF TRI-CITIES (509-735-2511) , HAS REFUSED TO HONOR WARRENTY REPAIR OF THE ADJACENT COMPONENTS, WHICH IS RATHER DISTURBING. I AM WRITING THIS COMPLAINT SO HOPEFULLY FORD WILL SOMEDAY BE PUSHED INTO RECALLING THIS DEFECT IN ADDITION TO THE 11 OTHER DEFECTS ON THIS PARTICULAR VEHICLE. *AK
