Called dealership service manager stated other people have had same issue. He instructed me to turn steering wheel and push ignition button... Didn't work. On my dash panel i noticed the key light symbol was lit up, when i tried to start car with the keyfob that didn't work either. Had to have car towed and at dealership to change the steering lock. It malfunctioned and cannot be repaired needs to be replaced. Part has been ordered and should be replaced on 03/21/2013. Estimate is 914. 00. |
