Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: I was getting in my 2000 ford focus this morning to go to work; i put the key in the ignition and the key would not turn. i fiddled with in for about 10 minutes to no avail. as a result, i had to call off of work. that alone is a lose of money. i have not yet called ford about this problem, but according to other reports, it can cost anywhere from$100- $400 to fix this problem. i just thank god this didn't happen to me in a dangerous area. i could have been stranded in a very dangerous area. i have had problems with the key not turning before this incident, however, i could always eventually turn the key, after fiddling with it for a few minutes. *tr
