Consumer Description

THE IGNITION CYLINDER SEIZED FOR NO APPARANT REASON. I WAS OVER AN HOURS DRIVE FROM HOME. HAD TO CALL A TOW TRUCK THERE WAS NO WAY TO START THE CAR, THE KEY WOULD JUST NOT TURN. AFTER A COSTLY REPAIR, ALMOST $500CDN I RESEARCHED THIS PROBLEM ON THE INTERNET. IT TURNS OUT I'M NOT ALONE. HTTP://WWW.AUTOWHIZ.COM/MESSAGEBOARDS/MESSAGE.PHP?ID=1784 THIS IS JUST ONE SITE WITH MANY COMPLAINTS ON THIS PROBLEM. EVEN THE SERVICE ADVISOR AT THE FORD DEALER SAID SHE THINKS THERE COULD EVENTUALLY BE A RECALL ON THIS BECAUSE THEY HAVE TO FIX SO MANY OF THEM.
