Consumer Description

I OWN A 2000 FORD FOCUS. MY IGNITION LOCKED. INITALLY, MY KEY WOULD ONLY GO IN HALF WAY, BUT WOULD NOT TURN. AFTER FINALLY GETTING MY KEY IN, IT STILL WOULD NOT TURN. I HAVE RESEARCHED THIS EXACT INDICENT, AND I HAVE FOUND THIS TO BE A COMMON FAIRLURE. THERE ARE OVER 150 POSTINGS ON AUTOMOTIVETALK.NET ALONE. I PAID $65 TO HAVE THE CAR TOWED AND $310 TO HAVE IT FIXED AT THE DEALER. CLEARLY, THIS IS A DEFECTIVE PART, BUT FORD HAS DONE NOTHING TO COMPENSATE THE OUT OF POCKET COSTS TO THE OWNERS.
