Anyone have any information about this?

You have a revision D ESCL. All revisions of the ESCL are prone to failure. There are several DIYs on a possible fix to your problem (in a nutshell: beat the crap out of it until it unlocks and then pull the fuse). Search this site for "ESCL", "steering lock", "pull the fuse", etc. I prefer to go to DuckDuckGo (or any other major search engine) and add "site:the370z.com" to my search string (eg, "ESCL site:the370z.com").
