It only happened about a mile from my house so I just walked back home and called a tow-truck.

The dealership asked if I had an extended warranty, which I don't. I don't trust the dealership to work on my car (the last time they did they changed the water pump and forgot to add coolant). But it would have saved me a few grand over the past year.

I don't trust any dealers here either that's why I went to town on the lock unit and got it unlocked. It's the silver metal box underneath your steering column, just whack it from an angle a few times and it should release, you will hear a noise once it does. Pull the #10 fuse on the hood and you should be gud!

Btw, my car is a late 2010 built.
