ATTENTION!! 2009-2010 owners with steering lock/wont start issues

Bondfire

Has anyone considered looking into a class action suit? Not sure if you can even do that for cars or not. All I know is that my car is stuck and the dealer says it's gonna cost about $1100 to get this taken care of.

I'll start doing some research on how class action suits work.

If you're handy you can fix it yourself, and by fix I mean make sure it never causes a problem again.

No way I would let the dealer gig me for $1100 knowing it could be fixed at home for like.. $15. [excluding the cost of towing it back home]

Problem is, it's already stuck. And so far I've only seen ways that might work to get it started again (tapping, etc). So if those options don't work, I might have to go to the dealer. If I did miss something though, feel free to point it out. I've had a fever for a few days, my car is actually stuck at the clinic where I was for a Dr. appt.

The only three methods I know of (none 100% successful) are:
* Percussive. Some have reported success with a good bump, others have had to beat the feces out of it.
* Manual Reset. Remove the SLU and manually push the lock pin into the fully retracted position.
* Rebuild. Remove and disassemble the SLU. Verify switch operation and reassemble so the the locking pin is fully retracted and making the switches.

If you have tried all those without success, then you will have to buy a new SLU. You can save $$$ by replacing it yourself - it's an easy job if you have the right pliers.
