2001 Ford Focus zts - ignition wouldn't start during summer months (not predictable); have been stranded on side of road a few times until engine cooled down (30 minutes to 1 hour) before would start again. Last week, when key inserted into car, steering wheel would be locked up and key wouldn't turn. Finally failed on me two days ago; luckily I was at home and not on the highway with my 2-year-old in zero-degree weather! dealer said it was faulty solenoid switch in starter. Have read this is very common problem that repeats itself! I hope to not have to go through this again.
