Consumer Description
KEY WILL NOT TURN IN IGNITION. EVENTUALLY AFTER A HALF HOUR OF TRYING, THE CAR TURNED OVER AND I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP. I TOLD THEM I WAS HAVING PROBLEMS WITH MY IGNITION, AND THEY ASKED ME IF MY CAR WAS A FOCUS. APPARENTLY THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM IN THE FORD FOCUS. THE TUMBLER NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. I HAVE A 2001 FORD FOCUS SE WAGON. WHY DO YOU HAVE TO REPLACE AN IGNITION IN A 5 YEAR OLD CAR? I HAD A 10 YEAR OLD CAR WITHOUT ANY IGNITION PROBLEMS EVER. *NM
