Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: I own a 2000 ford focus. on the morning of november 22, 2007 i parked my vehicle in my driveway, which in turn blocked the exit of my other vehicle from the garage. when i went to start my vehicle that night to go to work, the key wouldn't fit into the ignition. i was eventually able to jam the key into the ignition, but it would not turn forward. i had the vehicle towed to the dealership where it cost me $380 to replace the ignition and make new keys. fortunately, i was not having an emergency. if i had to take my son, who is 1 year old, to the emergency room, i wouldn't have been able to leave my house for an hour. i have research this issue and have become aware that this year vehicle is having a lot of these issues. *tr
