What owners wrote
The clock spring in the steering column deteriorated and became nonfunctional in a car that is only 3 years old and with only 17000 miles on it. This is not an old car, to spend about $800 to repair a part that is still this new is ridiculous. There are past and current investigations into this exact part with many models, including variations of our own.
