Consumer Description

FORD FOCUS 2002 ZTS KEY IGNITION FAILED AT 80,000 MILES FOR OVER A YEAR BEFORE THE TOTAL FAILURE THERE WERE AT LEAST 12 TIMES THAT THE IGNITION FAILED BUT FINALLY WORKED AFTER A FEW TRIES. I WAS LEFT STRANDED ON MORE THEN ON OCCASION DUE TO THIS FAILURE AND LAST TIME HAD TO HAVE MY CAR TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP. THE PROBLEM WAS FIXED AT THE FORD DEAL SHIP AND COST ME 450.00. I HAD TO GET A NEW KEY AND A NEW IGNITION. I CAN FEEL THAT ONCE AGAIN THE KEY IS RUBBING THE IGNITION THE WAY IT WAS BEFORE THIS PROBLEM WAS FIXED AND AM SURE THAT IN THE FUTURE I WILL HAVE TO REPLACE THE PART ONCE AGAIN. I JUST HOPE THIS TIME I WON'T BE STRANDED. *TR
