Hi Backy,
I just saw your message. Are you the same Backy of white wagon fame on the VW vortex board years ago?

No. So much for having a unique handle!

#7 of 7 2012 Buick Enclave Ignition & Steering Locked up by skippy0817

Jun 21, 2012 (12:42 pm)

We went to start our 2012 Enclave and the key turned to the 2nd of the 4 ignition positions and locked up. Steering wheel locked, no power to anything, no lights, or anything. We put it on a charger thinking it may have been a dead battery and the battery showed full power. We had to call for a tow to a dealership and they now have had the car for the 2nd day and can't find out why it happened. They did get it started and drove it but don't know what caused this. We're pretty unhappy right now that this happened on a $50,000 vehicle with 5000 miles on it and the service people have no clue of why it happened or if it will happen again. Any suggestions? Has this happened to anyone else?
