Originally in July of 2007 my keys got stuck in the ignition and wouldn't come out. I took it to a dealer who replaced the ignition under my extended warranty. Five months later I began to have the same problem however I no longer have a warranty. It obviously is more than just the ignition and I can't afford to replace the ignition every few months. After reading all the other similar complaints Ford needs to recall this part and fix the real problem!!!!

I see there are many other complaints about this same issue. The ignition key just suddenly stopped working. Now I can't even turn the car on at all. I was told my the AAA tow guy to either bank the ignition with something solid or have the ignition cylinder completely replaced. My mechanic estimated that it will cost about $250 - $350. Why hasn't Ford issued a recall on this? My mechanic says he sees this problem all the time on Ford Focuses. Ignitions don't just stop working. This is clearly a major defect.
