I have a 2004 Ford Explorer. Last year at 38,000 miles, the key locked in the ignition and I have been unable to get it out. Portsmouth Ford n. H. Says too bad: it is out of warranty and it will cost me $400 to get it out. Today I have 56,000 miles on my Explorer and the key is still in the ignition. It is a pain. I was hoping for a recall. Have you heard of this problem?.
