Consumer Description

I WALKED TO MY CAR ONE EVENING AFTER CATCHING UP WITH SOME FRIENDS. WHEN I WENT TO START THE CAR I COULD NOT TURN THE KEY TO START THE IGNITION. THE ENITRE STEERING COLUMN LOCKED UP INCLUDING THE BRAKES. NOT ONLY DID I HAD TO HAVE MY CAR TOWED TO THE NEAREST FORD DEALERSHIP, BUT IT WAS NOT COVERED UNDER MY WARRANTY. THE DEALERSHIP REPLACED MY "IGNITION LOCK". WHEN I WENT TO PAY FOR THE WORK, THE CASHIER SAID THAT THEY HAVE TO REPLACE AT LEAST ONE "IGNITION LOCK" A DAY AT THE DEALERSHIP. NOW MY RADIO HAS BEEN SHORTING OUT. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP THAT WORKED ON MY CAR AND THEY SAID THAT THERE IS NO CORRELATION BETWEEN THE TWO PROBLEMS. *AK
