Got home from work and key is stuck in ignition of 2007 Ford Focus! car will still crank and drive but the key will not come out! shifter will also shift into any gear in the "off" position and without foot on brake!............... second complaint is that since purchasing the car new in January 2008 when I fill gas tank the gauge only goes to about 3/4 mark... never the "full" line. Dealership replaced gage once a few months after purchasing but it still does it!

My 2007 Ford Focus key is stuck in my ignition &its a security and safety hazard, Ford wants to charge 400-500 dollars to fix their own common problem. The consequence of this is I will probably stop stimulating the economy along with others and not buy an american made car. I refuse to correct a problem Ford will not correct for free so I am buying another car.
