does it look like it was intentional? Or just some idiot who hit it? Is it a key mark? Was this at your apt complex?

Cristobal09 · 03-04-2012, 06:09 PM

its been a common issue, ive read disconnecting and reconnecting the battery will SOMETIMES fix it, but most likely its going to need to get towed.

another thing is putting the key into the key thingamajig instead of just laying it in the car

Have him attempt to move the steering wheel and column up and down and then lock it into place and attempt to start then. If it is the steering lock mechanism this might jiggle something inside to at least let him start it. Other thing to try would be to tap the steering lock mechanism plate that covers it. Then attempt to start. If no joy, then may have to get it towed to dealer.

His steering lock unit needs to be replaced. Hope he's still under warranty...

I wouldn't dare drive to ZDayZ without having replaced the lock.
