Consumer Description

THE IGNITION ON MY 2000 FORD FOCUS IS LOCKING UP TO THE POINT WHERE I CANNOT TURN MY KEY. THE CAR HAS 47,000 MILES ON IT. I WAS STRANDED FOR 20 MINS THE OTHER NIGHT TRYING TO GET THE KEY TO TURN. SPEND UP TO 1 TO 2 MINUTES NOW EACH TIME I GET IN MY CAR REINSERTING THE KEY UNTIL IT FINALLY TURNS. I HAVE ALSO TRIED MY SPARE KEY, WHICH IS BRAND NEW, WITH SAME RESULTS. FROM WHAT I HAVE READ, THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM, AND PROBABLY ONLY A MATTER OF TIME UNTIL I HAVE TO REPLACE THE IGNITION SWITCH.*AK
