Consumer Description

MY WIFE DROVE TO THE MOVIES. AFTER THE MOVIES SHE FOUND SHE COULDN'T TURN THE KEY IN THE IGNITION. SHE JIGGLED IT AND TRIED FOR 20 MINUTES BEFORE CALLING ME. THE CAR IS A 2000 FORD FOCUS. MY WIFE AND HER FRIEND WERE STRANDED IN A BAD PART OF TOWN DUE TO A MALFUNCTION. WHEN I CALLED MY DAD ABOUT IT (HE IS A SERVICE MANAGER FOR A CHRYSLER/JEEP DEALERSHIP) HE TOLD ME IT'S A TERRIBLY COMMON PROBLEM FOR THE 2000-2003 FOCUS. I CALLED FORD. THEY TOLD ME THE SAME THING. SAYS THE FIX THEM ALL THE TIME. I ASKED WHY IT WASN'T RECALLED SINCE MY WIFE WAS LEFT STRANDED AND THEY WOULDN'T ANSWER. I AM JUST GLAD THAT MY KIDS WEREN'T IN THE CAR. IT WAS ONLY 20 DEGREES OUTSIDE. FORD NEEDS TO FIX THIS! *TR
