Angry C207 Electronic Steering Lock failure😢

Hmmmm, my Electronic Steering Lock failed last week. Totally locked out the Transmission, Steering & Ignition. Had to drag car on to Tow Truck and deliver to dealer. Its a biggy! AU$2,190, and they'll have it completed same day part arrives. Don't really know what other course of action I could have taken, and its now pretty much after the fact!

Sorry about that. Don’t know why they don’t lift the car and put wheels under it. Instead of dragging.

They actually used nylon wedges which slide ok, but still looks pretty drastic. The service manager showed me how to lift the trim to access the Transmission Lock-out mechanism, which enables you to release the transmission form park, but after the fact. Good info for the future, which hopefully I will never have to do 😁

Dealer has completed repair. AU$1700 was the all up price, after being quoted AU$2190, which is somewhat more palatable!
