Consumer Description

WENT TO START MY 2000 FORD FOCUS AFTER LEAVING STORE AND IGNITION TUMBLE WOULD NOT TURN. HAS HAPPENED ONCE BEFORE. NOW EVERYTIME I GO TO START MY VEHICLE I HAVE TO HIT THE KEY HARD INTO THE IGNITION FOR AS MANY TIMES AS IT TAKES TO START. BROUGHT MY VEHICLE TO MY FORD DEALER. NOW IT'S GOING TO CAST ME OVER $300 TO REPLACED THIS PART AND THAT THEY SAY FORD IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM BUT WILL NOT RECALL THIS PART. I SPOKE TO SERVICE REPS, MANAGERS AND TECH'S. THEY ALL SAY THE SAME....FORD KNOWS BUT WONT RECALL IT! SO ON TOP OF MY CAR PAYMENT I GET TO PAY MORE THAN MY MONTHLY PAYMENT TO FIX A PART THAT FORD ACKNOWLEDGES AS DEFECTIVE. EXCELLENT SERVICES AND CARE FOR YOUR CUSTOMERS. THEN AGAIN I AM ONLY AN AVERAGE PERSON NOT A MULI-MILLION DOLLAR COMPANY. *JB
