Consumer Description

IGNITION SWITCH FAILURE . SWITCH HAD TO BE REPLACED ON VEHICLE FOR THE SECOND TIME. THE FIRST INCIDENT WAS DURING THE 36,000 MILE WARRANTY PERIOD. THIS VEHICLE IS ONE OF FOUR 2000 FORD FOCUS HATCHBACKS THAT OUR COMPANY OWNS. THEY HAVE ALL HAD THE IGNITION SWITCH REPLACED AT LEAST ONCE AND THERE IS ANOTHER ONE THAT HAS BEEN REPLACED TWICE. THIS WAS THE FIRST ONE THAT WASN'T UNDER 36,000 MILES WHEN IT WAS REPLACED. AFTER POINTING THIS OUT TO FORD THEY INFORMED US THAT THEY ARE NOT HAVING A PROBLEM WITH THE IGNITION SYSTEM. I CHECKED THE NHTSA SITE FOR COMPLAINTS ON THE IGNITION SYSTEM AND THERE ARE MANY PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEMS THAT WE ARE HAVING .*AK
