| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: My wife owns a 2001 ford focus lx,we have been having intermittent ignition problem with this car for months where the key did not turn the ignition. i called ford service , and they advised to replace the ignition which will cost between $380 and $480. i could not afford this,, and lost time at work to go and mess with the ignition. i had to wiggle it back and forth ,sometimes taking me 2 hours, to get the key to turn. i read forums on the internet that many people had the same problem. why could not ford reimburse any cost or do this for cheaper then the amount i was quoted. the cars will sit in the driveway until i could get enough money for repairs. the car wont even turn now even after wiggling it back and forth, so i may have to get the car towed to the dealership.*ak |
