IGNITION LOCK CYLINDER FAILURE ON A 2006 FORD FOCUS. THE KEY AT ONE TIME COULDN'T TURN THE IGNITION...NOW CAN'T REMOVE KEY FROM LOCK CYLINDER WITHOUT HAVING LOCKSMITH OR DEALERSHIP DO IT AT SUBSTANTIAL COST TO MYSELF. APPARENTLY THIS IS A VERY COMMON OCCURRENCE AND IS WAY MORE WIDESPREAD THEN ANY LITTLE RECALL THAT TOYOTA HAS HAD...WE NEED A RECALL OR A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT. I*TR

THE KEY HAS BECOME STUCK IN THE IGNITION AND WILL NOT COME OUT BECAUSE THE CAR DOES NOT THINK IT IS PARK EVEN THOUGH IT IS PARKED. THE DEALER INSIST THAT THERE WAS A SODA SPILLED ON THE IGNITION AND THIS RESULTED IN THE CHIP IN THE IGNITION SHORTING OUT. THIS KEY HAS BEEN STUCK SINCE MAY AND HAS ONLY COME OUT OF THE IGNITION ONCE SINCE THEN! THE DEALERSHIP SAYS THAT THEY HAVE TO ORDER THIS PART AND CHANGE OUT THE IGNITION TO FIX IT. SO FAR, THIS PROBLEM HAS NOT BEEN RESOLVED AND WE CANNOT LOCK ALL OF THE DOORS BECAUSE OF THIS. *TR
