Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: I had taken my grand-daughter to the dentist and when we came out the key ignition would not turn and the steering wheel was locked up. i spent the most of the morning trying to get it to turn one more time so that i could take it to ford town to get it fixed. i knew what had happened because my daughter has a 2004 ford focus and hers had just locked up about a month before and she never did get it to turn over, she had to have her car towed and the ignition cylinder drilled out, finally we were able to get it to turn over one more time and the man at ford town told me to leave the key in the ignition and the next day they would try and work my car in to have it fixed. i took it to ford town the next day and they fixed it and it cost me $184.37. *nm
