Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: Key will not turn in ignition. eventually after a half hour of trying, the car turned over and i was able to drive it to the dealership. i told them i was having problems with my ignition, and they asked me if my car was a focus. apparently this is a common problem in the ford focus. the tumbler needs to be replaced. i have a 2001 ford focus se wagon. why do you have to replace an ignition in a 5 year old car? i had a 10 year old car without any ignition problems ever. *nm
