Wait 10 Seconds....
Just had that wait 10 seconds message normally associated with the Column Lock. Did as it said and the car went fine when I fired it up.
I'm just wondering if this is "the" sign for having to get the bypass, and I'm also wondering if its worth my time going to the dealership to let them do their magic since I've heard the dealership recall tends to have issues? Any imput would be appreciated!

Do some research on this forum, there has been lots of good advice written about the Column Lock Bypass the last several months.
If you have a 6 speed, get the bypass and install it yourself or have your mechanic do it. It's a simple fix and great piece of mind! I would NOT take it to a dealer!

Thought the same thing.
Keeping my fingers crossed.

Happened to me two days ago, same way as you. Today car would not start because of corrosion on the terminals. I cleaned and changed battery. Early to say but to much of a coincedence not to be it. Good luck.
