Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: I bought my 2001 ford focus in april 2007 from a used car dealership. one day a couple of months ago i went into a store and when i came out my key would not go into the ignition and the steering wheel was locked. fortunately i grabbed a passerby to help me and he was able to get the key into the ignition and i was able to drive the car. then a few days ago i got home from work one night, parked my car, and went inside. next morning when i tried to leave for work the key would not go into the ignition and the wheel was locked again. after an hour of trying to get the key in, i had to call a mechanic to tow the car to the shop and get it repaired. it cost me $400. *tr
