Message me if you need anything or questions! This needs to be a recall!!!
This sounds like the well-known steering lock issue. There are several threads on that here. It appears to be a problem with the steering wheel lock solenoid and it's replaced with the solenoid they've been using in the 2010, 2011, 2012. It's seems to be rare that this issue ever comes up in any model year other than 2009.

Not a recall. I don't think there's even a TSB on it, but it's a well-known problem.
