Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: I have had ignition problems with my 2003 ford focus. first incident in july, 2006 and am now experiencing another. i have a small child and do not want to be stranded somewhere just because i can't get the key to turn in the ignition. i am now also dealing with (today) a solenoid malfunction in my transmission (3rd gear). this is the 2nd time this has happened to me as well. the car jerks like crazy and wouldn't go over 30 mph. thank goodness i was close to a side street to exit the highway. this is getting ridiculous that these issues are not being recalled. the ignition is a huge issue with enough people.... *nm
