Description of the problem	Had the oil changed at dealership. Upon driving back home the car would not start. I received the yellow key light on the dash and could not depress the brake pedal or start the car. I attempted to put in a new battery to the intelligent key and also jumpstart the vehicle. Still would not start. Nothing warns you of this issue and glad that i was not driving the vehicle when this happened or part failed. On the following date the vehicle was towed to the local dealership. On monday the 7th the car was diagnosed with the electric steering lock assembly failure.
