When I do get a hold of her, I'm going to basically say that $200 for what cost me $1200 is a slap in the face.
Stay tuned for updates.

yah, you should get the whole 1200 check back if your car's under warranty.
if not, then $500 would be nice.
good luck with that.

Called the dealership. They are saying either new steering wheel lock or new ECU, they are not sure. I know I would love a new ECU. It would remove that ECU whine.

but doesn't the BCM suppose to handshake with the steering lock first, then tells the ECU the car's ready to start?
tell the dealer to check the steering lock revision. there's a barcode on the unit they can scan to get datecode and revision number. If your car has RevA or RevB, it needs to be changed.
also remember that this problem seems to occure more when the battery is weaker (colder weather, some cars with 3yr old poorly maintained batteries). if your battery has better cca due to warmer day, etc. chances are it can make the failed unit work again temporarily.
