He also states that with just moving the telescoping the steering wheel in and out the problem goes away. He was right and now the vehicle starts. However service department states that the vehicle could lock the steering wheel while driving. They want $1,100 to fix the problem. …”

I was stuck there for five hours trying to get it started with help from a locksmith and my mechanic, finally found the issue on google was a faulty steering wheel lock unit which 37 other people had problems with and was charged $900 and up to fix by the dealers they know of this issue but won't recall it. …”
