Same issue. Interestingly though, I already have a CLB in place. Has been in place for several years. Couple weeks ago I disconnected battery to do some work and now getting Service Column Lock warning and keeps cutting off car after 4 or 5 feet. Electrical no doubt. Any ideas?

I don't get that. I just had mine fixed by the dealer this summer for free due to the original recall not being addressed. Was yours taken in for the recall? Even if it was, and it's messing up again, any reputable dealer would want it remedied and should do it without charge.

Picture this:

You're driving down the freeway and your serpentine belt breaks. You're too involved with the scenery and trying to figure out what happened your radio to notice you have a "service engine" light and your battery is going dead. Now, with this column lock failure, there's a possibility that your steering wheel could lock up at freeway speed and where would that leave you?
