Consumer Description

IGNITION DOES NOT TURN ON 2002 FORD FOCUS. I CANNOT TURN THE KEY. I HAVE LOOKED AROUND ON THE INTERNET AND THERE WERE A LOT OF PEOPLE WHO HAD THIS SAME PROBLEM. I FIXED IT BY TAPPING THE KEY WITH A HAMMER AS I TURNED THE KEY. THE DEALERSHIP WANTED ME TO PAY THEM $400 TO FIX THIS PROBLEM, BUT I THOUGHT FORD SHOULD JUST FIX IT BEFORE THEY MAKE THEIR WORTHLESS CARS.*AK
