Consumer Description

I HAVE A 2000 FORD FOCUS. I HAVE HAD THE IGNITION KEY CYLINDER LOCK LEAVING ME UNABLE TO GET THE KEY INTO THE IGNITION OR TURN THE KEY TO START THE CAR. FORD IS WELL AWARE OF THE PROBLEM, AS THE SERVICE TECHNICIAN AT MY LOCAL FORD DEALER TOLD ME. WITH THIS BEING A KNOWN PROBLEM, FORD STILL WANTS OVER $300 TO FIX A THE PROBLEM. IF THIS IS A KNOWN DEFECT, WHY IS THE CONSUMER THE ONE THAT HAS TO PAY FOR THE PROBLEM???
