Description of the problem	In 2013, i was stranded at work late at night due to a faulty steering wheel lock. I got into my car and went to start it and the key light was lit on the dash and my car wouldn't start. The car had to be towed to the nearest dealership the next day to replace the steering wheel lock. Thankfully, i was stranded in a safe place especially since i'm a single female. It's now 2017, and i find myself in the same situation. Thankfully, i noticed the issue early while it's still daytime. I'm now waiting for my car to be towed to a dealership to address a faulty steering wheel lock. I'm concerned that the steering wheel lock only has a life span of 4 years since this is the second time i have to address this issue. Is it normal for a part to just malfunction after only 4 years? Will i have to worry about being stranded again 4 years from now for the third time? My car is serviced regularly and taken care of so i won't be stranded. It's troubling that regardless of the fact that my car is serviced and taken care of, i can be stranded anywhere.
