Consumer Description

WE JUST RECENTLY BOUGHT THIS CAR (2002 FORD FOCUS) AND SO I DO NOT KNOW THE HISTORY OF IT, HOWEVER THE CAR JUST STARTED LOCKING UP OUT OF NOWHERE. THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED WAS WITH MY HUSBAND AND LUCKILY HE DID NOT HAVE ANY OF OUR CHILDREN WITH HIM. THE IGNITION KEEPS LOCKING AND WE HAVE TO KEEP ON HAVING IT TOWED HOME. WE HAVE HAD THIS CAR FOR ABOUT 2 AND 1/2 MONTHS AND SO FAR IT HAS HAPPENED 4 TIMES. SO WE HAVE HAD TO PAY $160 IN TOWING COSTS. WE HAVE A FRIEND THAT SOMEHOW FIXED IT AND MY HUSBAND SPENDS HOURS OUTSIDE MESSING WITH IT TO GET IT WORKING. THIS TIME IS WONT START AT ALL AND ITS THE WORST TIMING EVER WE HAVE A PREMATURE BABY AND 4 OTHER CHILDREN THAT NEED TO GET TO SCHOOL AND DAYCARE. *TR
