2006 Ford Focus Latches, locks and linkages Problems

“Ignition lock cylinder failure on a 2006 Ford Focus. The key at one time couldn't turn the ignition...now can't remove key from lock cylinder without having locksmith or dealership do it at substantial cost to myself. Apparently this is a very common occurrence and is way more widespread then any little recall that toyota has had...we need a recall or a class action lawsuit. I”

“I own a 2006 Ford Focus zx5. In march 2014, I notice the passenger back door would not lock. I did some research but found out there was no recall on my 2006. I did see 2005, 2008 but not mines. I did spend over 300.00 dollars to have it repaired and now two weeks later my front door passenger side stop working. This is a problem with the vehicle. I am the only driver and I have no children playing with my locks. I wish someone could assist me with this issue.”

“Rear passenger door won't lock. My wife apparently locked the car at work in an open parking lot and later went to retrieve something from back seat to find that the door was not locked. No indication was given when locking the car using the remote locking mechanism that there is an issue because it sounds like it is fully locked. It isn't. I checked the issue by having her drive up and down the road making sure she thought all doors were locked and while she had stopped, I opened the rear passenger door and jumped in the back seat much as an attacker or carjacker might do. …”

“For the 3rd time a rear door lock on my Ford Focus has failed. Twice on right once on left. The lock jams. Cannot lock. But a danger to a child in the car as you cannot open the door from the inside. Nor can you secure the car from car jackers since it will not lock,.”

“The key has become stuck in the ignition and will not come out because the car does not think it is park even though it is parked. The dealer insist that there was a soda spilled on the ignition and this resulted in the chip in the ignition shorting out. This key has been stuck since may and has only come out of the ignition once since then! The dealership says that they have to order this part and change out the ignition to fix it. So far, this problem has not been resolved and we cannot lock all of the doors because of this.”
