How many of you have pulled the steering lock fuse?

I just pulled the fuse. I have a 2009 and I'm at 30,000 miles and my warantee just expired. Better safe than sorry. Saving $500-$1,200 and hassles of a tow

I just pulled the fuse. I have a 2009 and I'm at 30,000 miles and my warantee just expired. Better safe than sorry. Saving $500-$1,200 and hassles of a tow feels great.

No starting delay so far, but it's only been like 5 starts so far...

Agreed, I'll pull mine the day the warranty is out, until then, I pray it fails

The starting delay has not been linked to the steering lock issue whether you cut the brown wire or pull the fuse.
