Today got up early and had to go fill up with fuel and after I did so the 370 would not start, would not recognize the key, plugged key into the slot nothing , tried the spare key still nothing, would not jump off etc, had to have it towed to the dealer. Anyone had this happen.

Sorry to hear but it maybe the dreaded steering lock failure

I know it's a little late but there are threads that cover this failure and the prevention of it, But seeing yours is a 12'?

I'm curious to see what it is?

Hopefully you can give us an update when they find the cause and fix it.

Edited:I meant 10' not 12'
