| Description of the problem | Started the car one cold morning and it ran fine. Stopped for coffee at starbucks came out and the car did not start, did not click, did nothing. Turns out, the car had to be towed to a dealer which cost $85. 00, then evaluated $120. 00, then repaired for a broke steering mechanism lock $940. 00. I returned to review this problem on line and found numerous complaints for the same condition. I am also told this was corrected for the 2010 models. Why is not a recall for this condition? I plan to go to the next step to recover my money... |
