had hunters tow it to the dealer- they said they shot some silicone in it, which, helped, but it locked up again 30 minutes later, so they pulled the lock mechanism out, it was broke apart in the column. Should have it back sometime soon they said.

That was such a freak thing to happen. I've never heard of one falling apart on a new vehicle.

well it happened on our dually too (see sig), but we decided not to repair it since start was the only position not working (acc, on, ect worked). So now it has push button ignition. Can't do that on these newfangled vehicles.
