just got back from column recall
I just got back home at about 2:00 after being at the dealer since 9:00 I left the dealer at 12:45 got the column lock removed no issues gave the guy $40 that was working on the car and they were really careful, i dont think there is any damage nice job... I guess no more worrying for me I hope......Just thought i'd post for those of you like me that never want to return to the dealer

Glad they took good care of your car. Nice to have the peace of mind that the column won't lock up again.
