problem #1

Sep 182007

Focus 4-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 42,000 miles
The shifter, steering wheel and ignition key all lock up on my 2004 Ford Focus. I simply guide my car to where I want to park it. Stop, put the car in park and turn off the car. When I go to start my car again, everything is locked up and takes a long time to get it unlocked. I almost have to break off the key to get it started.
