Description of the problem	I drove my car home from work. Everything was working fine and ten minutes later when i went to go back to work, the car would not start. I could get all the electrical working , but the car would just not start up. I was told it was the steering lock, and it needs replaced. I got towed to the dealership and was told that my steering lock needs to be replaced. I don't feel safe driving this car anymore. Imaging driving in a bad part of town suddenly your "steering lock" malfunctions or my wife is driving and is stuck in a bad part of new orleans.
