As my car has already passed the 36,000 mile warrenty coverage, it will cost me $1135,29 to get my car back!!! That is with a discount too. rev2 to rev4 re-programmed

Steering lock module: $850
Labor: $300
Re-programming: $400
towing: $185

REMOVE YOUR FUSE BEFORE YOU END UP WITH THE SAME BILL!!!!
All I can say is wow. First off, that module is only around $500, so I'm not sure what the $350 dollar mark up is all about. Labor is literally a 30min job. There is a DIY thread on here about replacing the steering lock, so $300 dollars in labor?!?! Please. As far as I know there is no re-programming involved. There has been several people on here that replaced the lock their self, and I don't recall them ever having to re-program anything, so $400 dollars? Really? Sounds like the dealer is screwing you over

DIY: Replace dreaded steering-lock on 2009s and early 2010s.
