EMERGENCY: Car won't start HElp!

How come some of our cars are NOT covered under the steering lock failure and some ARE covered? What determines which ones are covered and which ones are not?

I haven't seen anything official but it seems that only RevA and RevB ESCLs are covered by the TSB. RevC and above are not covered.

That's crap! Did they fix it with models 2013 and above? Or do the 2013 2014 have the same issue?

After I think 2012 models they used something else completely.

And they better fix it cause this is horse poo, I heard they have made "Exceptions" for ones not covered, if that's true or not I don't know..

It's insane for sure tho. It was escalated to the Regional Managers - Manager. Whatever...

139$ Tow.... and they want another 89$ for the diagnostic. I Only took it to the shop because they told me I HAD TO before they would make a decision to fix it or not. After talking in here I was 99% Positive it WAS the Lock...

On the tow cost I have state farm and they reimbursed me for the tow. It was like an extra $10 on coverage for 6 months. This might help ease the pain.
Sorry to hear about the problem still existing. you would think the lock problem would end soon 7yrs later. God bless
