Consumer Description

WHEN I TRY TO START MY CAR, THE KEY WON'T TURN WHEN I PUT IT IN THE IGNITION. THIS HAPPENED THREE TIMES JUST TODAY. I CAN WIGGLE THE KEY BACK AND FORTH AND LUCKILY IT'S ENDED UP WORKING, BUT THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED. I'VE READ ONLINE THAT THIS IS A PROBLEM WITH THE FOCUS. THIS SHOULD BE RECALLED. *JS
