Consumer Description

THE IGNITION ON THIS CAR HAS BEEN REPLACED ALREADY BY THE FIRST OWNER. WELL, THE KEY CANNOT NOT BE REMOVED FROM THE IGNITION. NOW THE KEY HAS BROKEN OFF IN THE IGNITION. THE KEY STUB CAN BE REMOVED AND THE ENGINE WILL STILL RUN. THIS MORNING I MOVED THE 01 FOCUS AND I SHUT OFF THE CAR AND TOOK THE KEY OUT BUT THE SHIFTER WAS STILL IN DRIVE. I LOCKED THE DOOR, WALKED BEHIND THE CAR AND IT ROLLED BACKWARDS INTO ME. LUCKY MY NEIGHBOR WAS THERE TO HELP ME STOP THE CAR. THERE ARE MANY COMPLAINTS FROM OTHER FOCUS OWNERS REGARDING THE FAILURE OF THE IGNITION SWITCHES AND FORD WILL NOT RECALL THE CAR AND FIX THIS DANGEROUS PROBLEM. THANKS FOR ANY HELP IN THIS MATTER.
