Consumer Description

THE STEERING LOCK MECHANISM PART #48700-JF00A ON 09 AND 10 MODELS FAILS AFTER A WHILE DUE TO POOR QUALITY. THIS RESULTS IN THE STEERING COLUMN BEING UNABLE TO UNLOCK AND THEREFORE DISABLING THE CAR FROM BEING STARTED. THIS CAN LEAVE ANYONE STRANDED AND NEEDING THE CAR TOWED. IN MY CASE THE CAR IS STUCK IN MY GARAGE BECAUSE I AM UNABLE TO START IT DUE TO THIS FAULTY PART. THIS NEEDS TO BE RECALLED BECAUSE THE PART WILL FAIL ITS JUST A MATTER OF WHEN. *TR
