Qagea Ignition Lock Housing Replacement for 2008–2012 Ford Escape & 2008–2011 Mazda Tribute — Reinforced Cam, Anti-Theft Shear Bol

Qagea ignition lock housing replaces factory 989-019/9L8Z3511A with a reinforced cam and anti-theft shear bolt for direct-fit replacement on specified Ford, Mazda and Mercury models.

If your vehicle’s steering column is jammed or the ignition cylinder no longer functions, swapping to a complete ignition lock housing can restore reliable starting and steering-column locking. This Qagea assembly is designed to match OEM fit and mounting points for 2008–2012 Ford Escape, 2008–2011 Mazda Tribute, 2008–2010 Mercury Mariner, and 2009–2011 Ford Focus models while addressing common wear points found in older units.

How does this replacement solve the common ignition-stuck problem?

The Qagea housing replaces the entire lock case and internal cam, eliminating worn or fractured internal components that often bind the steering column or prevent the ignition switch from engaging. The thicker cam profile resists deformation and provides a firmer mechanical interface with the ignition cylinder.

• Complete housing swap removes damaged OEM parts in one step
• Thicker internal cam reduces wear and sticking over time
• Includes new shear bolts for secure, theft-resistant installation

Will this part fit my vehicle and how close is the match to the original?

This Qagea unit is engineered as a direct replacement for part numbers 989-019, 9L8Z3511A and ZZDB66160 and is compatible with the listed Ford, Mazda and Mercury model years. It follows OEM mounting points and dimensions so installation uses existing steering column connections and hardware locations.

• Compatible with 2008–2012 Ford Escape and listed models

What materials and build features improve durability?

• High-quality aluminum housing for strength and corrosion resistance
• Precision plastic components where controlled flex is needed
