Consumer Description

OUR 2000 FORD FOCUS HAD AN IGNITION PROBLEM THAT LEFT MY FIANCEE STRANDED AT WORK IN THE NIGHT. THE KEY WAS UNABLE TO BE PLACED INTO THE IGNITION. THE CAR WAS NOT BROKEN INTO AND THERE WAS NO PRIOR DAMAGE TO THE IGNITION. IT CAUSED ME TO TRAVEL TO HER WORK OVER AN HOUR AWAY TO PICK HER UP AND THE CAR ENDED UP BEING TOWED. IF IT WOULD HAVE BEEN AN AUTOMATIC WE WOULD HAVE NEEDED A LOCKSMITH IN ORDER TO GET IT INTO GEAR. AS A RESULT OF THIS INCIDENT WE REPLACED THE CAR WITH A NEW TOYOTA. THIS WAS THE THIRD INCIDENT IN 4 MONTHS AND IT COST US OVER $1,000.00 TO REPAIR IT. *NM
