The techs will only replace the ignition. I'm going to take it in, though, because I think the dealer has to order a new ignition using the code from my car. That way all of the keys will match.

I just hope the switch will work until I can get a new ignition.

Dam, that means your gonna have to pay to have it towed in and then wait for god knows how long to get the car fixed. keep us updated. :D

Sounds like a tumbler in the ignition was mislodged.
Fords have a huge problem with their ignitions.
You must be careful and never force a key into the ignition if it wont
easily go in.
You were very lucky for it to have worked after using the force you did!
Toyota's usually have good ignitions.
