    The ignition key is binding in ignition cylinder when turning to start position only. Twice it has not started on the first try. Twice i heard a metal sound when starting. This is a problem with ford focus 2008, and has been brought to my attention by my auto repair shop. It was suggested to me to go direct to a ford dealer service shop which i did. The car warranty expired 5/2011 so i don't qualify for free repair…
