Description of the problem	Parked my car in the parking lot of my job, came back sand the car would not start. We tested the battery and no results. We eventually towed the vehicle to the dealership and determine it was the electronic steering lock and the electronic ignition switch. I was told by the service advisor that the car generally does not let you know when this issue will arise. I was quoted $2,428 to fix both, after arguing with them about this issue, they later discount it to $1,780. I think this issue should be investigated. I could have been on the freeway when it stop and would have been a catastrophic event. Also, i am constantly replacing my light bulbs. Can you investigate if there is an electrical issue with these car.
