Consumer Description

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2000 FORD FOCUS. WHILE DRIVING 50 MPH, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY STALLED. WHEN THE CONTACT ATTEMPTED TO RESTART THE VEHICLE, THE IGNITION PIN INSIDE THE IGNITION CYLINDER FAILED. HE WAS UNABLE TO CONTROL OR MOVE THE STEERING WHEEL AND THE BRAKES DID NOT FUNCTION. THE VEHICLE WAS PULLED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND TOWED TO THE DEALER. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE IGNITION CONTROL WAS THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE PREVIOUSLY OCCURRED TWO YEARS AGO. THE DEALER REFUSED TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE FOR FREE BECAUSE THE WORK THAT WAS PREVIOUSLY DONE WAS ONLY FOR A YEAR. THEY ARE NOW CHARGING THE CONTACT THE SAME PRICE FOR THE REPAIR, BUT HE REFUSES TO HAVE HIS VEHICLE REPAIRED AT THE DEALER. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 85,000.
