The ignition switch on my car is not working. If it has to be replaced, it will be the third time since i bought the car. Which was in febuary of 2002. If a locksmith shop can repair the problem, why is it that a ford dealership can't?

The main concern i have is that i have had this car in 4 times now for rear wheel bearings. My other issue is that when the actuator in the rear drivers door went out that all the locks and windows freeze up in the locked position it that is where they were at when it dies. Not the key, manually or remote will wor. This to me is a saftey issue, you could potentially be locked into your vehicle with no way out.

We have a 2000 ford focus and it has been in and out of the shop for the same problem. The car stalls at times and the lights of the car go off and on as well as the radio and the speedometer go crazy from on side to the other. I can be driving and have the radio off and it will turn on. The car stalled for the first time on oct. 22 2001 and it didn't restart so we took it to ford and they replaced the fuel pump.…

I bought the car in june of 2000 since this time the car has had a number of recalls on the car. I feel that the people that bought the 2000 model of this car should not be liable to pay the amount the contact was signed. Due to the fact that at the time the car was bought, the people that bought the car didn't know that most of the car's life would be in the shop being fixed. Also ford knew that the focus was prone…
