Consumer Description

I HAVE BEEN HAVING PROBLEMS WITH MY 2002 FORD FOCUS IGNITION. EVERY TIME I PUT MY KEY IN THE IGNITION IT WILL GO IN, BUT THE KEY WILL NOT TURN. I NEED TO SEE WHAT I NEED TO DO TO KEEP THIS FROM HAPPENING AGAIN. I HAVE NOT REPLACED ANYTHING YET BECAUSE I WAS HOPING THEY WOULD CONSIDER A RECALL ON THIS PART. SO FAR I HAVE JUST BEEN FORCING MY KEY TO TURN AND ON APRIL 13, 2005 IT HAPPENED SO I WENT AND GOT SOME KEYS MADE AND IT STILL WOULD NOT WORK. THE NEXT DAY ABOUT 45 MINUTES OF WORK IT FINALLY TURNED AND GOT STARTED UP. FOR RIGHT NOW I AM LEAVING A KEY IN THE IGNITION TO KEEP UP FROM GETTING STUCK AGAIN.*AK
