The last two new Fords I have bought, a 2004 GT and a 2005 Territory Ghia have both fallen foul of the ignition key gremlin. This is now becoming one of the most common issues with the B Series and Territory. The problem with the issue is the cost of repair - around $1500. It seams to be the old 10 cent part causing the problem.
Is anyone aware if Ford has addressed this weakness from FG on? I am looking at buying new again but this is enough to scare me away from a new Ford if they think that since it normally happens outside the warranty period (about 5 yrs seems to be when they start to go) that it is acceptable. ps - I am going to have a look at the "recrimp fix" listed in the B Series area to see if i can fix myself.
