2010 Ford Focus Electrical system Problems

“The ignition switch doesn't work. You can turn the key on, but it will not make the connection to turn the engine over. We have pushed the key in and turned it on, but still nothing. When the key is in the on position everything works (radio, lights, air, windows, etc.) everything but the engine! When searching this on the internet, I have noticed that a lot of people have had the same problem.”

“When I turn the key to start the vehicle it often won't start - if I turn the steering wheel or sometimes shift it into a different gear (it's a standard), it may start. There is no distinct pattern of when it will and when it won't start. It has been getting worse lately and I'm worried I will get stranded. My wife will not drive the car now as she is concerned about getting stranded. Help.”

I checked to make sure my control knob was on the ofd position which it was. The head lights would only come on if I turned to control to on poistion. …”

“It started at on time when going to exit the stationary car, I could not exit the car because the lock would not unlatch, you could not open the driver or passenger doors from inside our outside. Now it has moved on to all the doors, sometimes they work and open sometimes they don't. I have replaced the driver door handle 3 times already for the same issue each time, in the handle latch itself there is a little plastic piece that keeps breaking inside the handle not allowing the handle to pull open the door. …”
