Consumer Description

2000 BLACK FORD FOCUS ZX3 MY KEY (SAME KEY THAT CAME WITH THE CAR) WILL NOT START MY CAR. . . .IT WILL NOT TURN OVER AT ALL. AND ALSO I CAN'T GET MY STEERING WHEEL TO UNLOCK TO MAKE MATTERS WORST. THIS PROBLEM DOESN'T HAPPEN OFTEN BUT IT HAPPENS MORE THAN IT SHOULD, AND THIS TIME I CAN'T EVEN GET IT TO START AT ALL. IT HAPPENS ABOUT 3 TIMES A YEAR AND I CAN GET MY CAR GOING IN ABOUT AN HOUR. BUT, THIS TIME MY CAR HAS BEEN SITTING IN MY DRIVE WAY FOR 3 DAYS NOW. I HAVE CALLED THE DEALERSHIP 3 TIMES. THE FIRST TIME SOMEONE GAVE ME ADVICE BUT, IT DIDN'T HELP. AND THE LAST 2 TIMES THEY HAVE FAILED TO CALL ME BACK! *NM
