Well my car won't start, key reader warning is on...

I have one question for future reference, how exactly do you remove those two bolts that hold the unit in with the angled pliers? Do you stick the tips of the pliers into the head of the nut? Or do you pinch the head with them and try to break it loose?

Sell it? You must want to be ready for the next go around? As far as the GA guys I feel Frank and I are the only ones holding on.

You guys started with the 370 a bit later is all. I want a sub 4 sec 0-60 car from the factory before mods.

I know what your saying but I wouldn't own another domestic car again.
If someone gave me one,they could be my enemy and I would be forced to sell it.

True, I've only owned imports minus one past vehicle. The improvements they are making has me thinking. I also want to start buying American more!

If only someone made a DIY for this issue... DIY: Replace dreaded steering-lock on 2009s and early 2010s.

Got it. Thanks!

So has anyone actually done anything significant in regards to getting this issue exposed? Maybe it's not happening to "all" 2009s and early 2010s. Just a thought.
