I'm in exile from Katrina in Dallas and yesterday, my ignition tumbler locked up and I couldn't turn the key. I waited for 3 hours until a tow truck brought my car to Middlekauff Ford in Plano. I posted a complaint at the nhtsa website and at fordvehicles.com. As if 11 feet of water in my neighborhood isn't enough, something so stupid leaving me stranded and costing me money amidst all of this adds insult to injury, and as much as I love my car and keep it aesthetically and mechanically perfect, I will without a doubt get rid of the car and get a Nissan Maxima. Foci are cool ass cars but corners were cut at our expense. Ford is playing the equation game with this issue...will it cost more to recall the car or to pay off litigation? Until the nhtsa mandates a recall, we're sitting ducks.
