When I got to it the battery was dead and my guy was clueless as to why. A new battery from AAA, and it starts, but antitheft steering lock is disfunctional, and remotes (keys) won't lock and unlock. When inserting the ley into ignition, an unfamiliar spring-feel is felt when rotating to ON. And of course, no steering lock release. The warning gong alarm goes on upon opening door, and goes off when the enging is started.
It is at dealer who says two new keys plus new anti-theft mechanism will do it. $3,000.

Gotta love dealers....... Yeah $3k sounds about right, of course an hour and a new $30.00 ignition switch probably will also.
