MY HUSBAND AND I BOUGHT A 2002 FORD FOCUS. WHEN I TRIED TO START THE CAR TO GO TO WORK THIS MORNING, THE IGNITION WOULD NOT TURN ALL THE WAY TO START THE CAR. THIS HAS BEEN A COMMON PROBLEM FOR THE FOCUS MODEL. I HAVE READ MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SAME PROBLEM ON THE INTERNET THEREFORE, THIS SHOULD BE A MANUFACTURER DEFAULT AND SHOULD BE FIXED. THE DEALERS ARE CHARGING $450 TO FIX THE PROBLEM THAT WASN'T OUR FAULT.*AK

LUCKILY THERE WERE STILL CO-WORKERS IN THE BANK WHERE I WORK SO I WAS ABLE TO USE THE PHONE. FIRST I CALLED THE FORD DEALERSHIP WHERE I PURCHASED THE CAR AND SPOKE WITH THE SERVICE DEPT. THEY DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM IN ABOUT THREE SECONDS. I WAS TOLD THIS WAS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH MY PARTICULAR VEHICLE. THEY SAID THE ONLY THING I COULD DO WOULD BE TO HAVE IT TOWED TO THEM AND IT WOULD COST AROUND $400.00. I THOUGHT...
