Consumer Description

2000 FORD FOCUS WAGON. COMPLAINT: KEY WON'T TURN IN IGNITION. HAD IT REPAIRED BY SV. STATION COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO (STILL GIVING ME PROBLEMS) MY SON BROUGHT A FOCUS AT THE SAME TIME I DID AND HAD THE SAME PROBLEM NOT TOO LONG AFTER HE PURCHASED HIS. MY DAUGHTER CALLED ME TODAY AND SAID "GUESS WHAT. HER FATHER IN LAW WENT TO START MY GRANDSONS CAR AND THE KEY WON'T TURN" YOU GUESSED IT, A 2000 FOCUS. I STARTED RESEARCHING ON THE INTERNET AND COULDN'T BELIEVE ALL THE COMPLAINTS RELATED TO THIS PROBLEM. EVERYBODY THAT BROUGHT IT TO THE FORD DEALERS FOR REPAIR WERE SHELLING OUT $500.00. OUTRAGED, THAT IS WHAT PROMPTED ME TO REGISTER THIS COMPLAINT AS FAR AS I'M CONCERNED THIS IS AS CLOSE TO A SCAM AS YOU CAN GET. WHAT A GRAND DESIGN FOR AN EASY PROFIT! THERE ARE ALOT OF PEOPLE OUT THERE SCREAMING RECALL AND FORD SITS BACK AND DOES NOTHING! THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. *TR
