I tried starting my car and found out the ignition is locked up. Is there a simple fix? or do I have to get a new ignition for the 4th time?

Lubricant? Is it frozen? See if you can park it in a heated garage overnight.

It happened to me, I called a tow truck cause it wouldn't let me start it. Tow truck drive shows I tell him whats up he says damm fords then got in the passenger seat told me to put pressure on the key towards the igntion (turning it on) He banged the key in with a hammer and it turned worked for a few weeks till it was stuck completly.

They will go regardless of the weight on them.
I had 2 ignition cylinders go on my focus, and all I had was my key FOB and the 2 keys. Focus key, and my house key.
Its just a POS.
