Consumer Description

FIRST OF I WENT OUT TO START MY CAR ONE DAY AND THE KEY WOULD NOT TURN THE IGNITION WAS LOCKED IN PLACE IT WOULD NOT MOVE AT ALL AND THE STEERING WHEEL WAS LOCKED. SO I TOOK IT INTO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID THEY HAVE HAD ALOT OF PROBLEMS WITH THESE AND THEY HAD TO WORK ON ALOT OF FORD FOCUS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM . BUT I WAS JUST OUT OF THE WARRENTY PERIOD 36000 AND I WAS AT 45000 SO THEY CHARGED ME FOR THERE WORK WHICH WAS 500 DOLLARS AND ITS SOMETHING THAT I COULD HAVE NEVER CAUSED TO HAPPEN AND WITH THE STEERING WHEEL LOCK THE CAR WAS NOT ABLE TO STEER AT ALL LUCKY IT DIDNT HAPPEN WHILE I WAS DRIVING BUT I DONT THINK THAT IT WAS SOMETHING THAT SHOULD HAVE EVER HAPPENED.
