igition switch play - hard to start igition switch play - hard to start

Ignition switch moves when key is inserted and you try to start car. I wedged plastic in there to take out the play. Now the key doesn't need to be jiggled to start car. Manufacturing defect. A new ignition switch will not solve problem for very long...another Ford engineering mistake.
