All of the above issues with the ignition. Sometimes the key won't go in. Sometimes the key won't turn. Sometimes the key won't come out. Sometimes the key comes out, but the car still dings as if the key is in. Just strange problems. Not all the time. Just enough to drive me crazy. Have dealt with these pretty much since the car was new. Seemed like a fluke thing the first few times, and then it just kept on happening.

This retarded damn car hates me... FIRSTLY, the ignition turns smooth but nothing happens, I thought the car died, attempted a jump just to realize you simply had to crank the key over really REALLY hard for it to start... From then on out. My keychain Buttons didn't work... I replaced the batteries (Didn't help) So I started using the key to unlock the car. THEN, I get home one day and turn off the car, pull out the key and open my door... DING DING DING DING. Stupid car thinks my key is still in the ignition... So I put the key in then take it back out, and it stopped... I finally got sick of jiggling the ignition until it quit beeping and ignored it one day... (BIG MISTAKE) Not only are the cars retarded, but they purposely like to screw you over... So I was in a hurry, I pulled in, took the key out, opened my door and it started the dinging thing... I was in a rush and said screw it... I pushed the button and locked all the doors, shut the door and took off. I come back the next morning and my car was unlocked... I got lucky that night and nothing was stolen. Then it happened several more times before I figured out if the car thinks the key is in the ignition it WON'T LET YOU LOCK THE DOORS... no matter what. So now I can't leave anything in my car. Now... on top of everything else, the car keeps telling me that my trunk is open after getting in it... >.< I like my car... but I HATE all these stupid problems. FORD - (Found, On, Road, Dead) Is true for me now that the car thinks the key is in it all day everyday... it keeps dying and I can only rest in the fact that if all else fails... I get to jump out and push start the damn thing...
