| Description of the problem | On or about 11/24/19, vehicle was parked in front of the house overnight and next morning, the vehicle did not start due to steering being locked electronically. Car did not have any power besides doors opening and would not shift into neutral. The vehicle was towed to a local dealer and service advisor contacted me to inform me that the vehicle locked the seething due to faulty switch. Vehicle was repaired and return to me on 12/4/2019. At this time, i am concerned for my safety due to possibility that the steering might lock while the vehicle is in motion. |
