Consumer Description

THERE HAS BEEN AN ONGOING PROBLEM WITH MY IGNITION SWITCH IN MY 2000 FORD FOCUS. THE STEERING COLUMN SEEMS TO LOCK UP ON ME AND THE KEY WONT TURN TO UNLOCK IT. THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN ONGOING FOR A WHILE NOW. I KNOW I AM NOT THE FIRST PERSON THIS HAS HAPPEN TO. I JUST HOPE SOMETHING CAN BE DONE ABOUT THIS. FORD WANTS ALMOST 400.00 DOLLARS TO FIX THIS PROBLEM AND IT ISN'T EVEN A GUARANTEED FIX. I DON'T THINK THIS IS RIGHT FOR FORD TO CHARGE THAT KIND OF MONEY FOR SOMETHING THAT WILL HAPPEN AGAIN DOWN THE ROAD. *TR
