I started having trouble starting my 2008 GT CX9 with the smart card a couple of months ago. It will start fine with the key inserted into the ignition and on occasion the smart card will work but mostly not. It unlocks all the doors and lift gate but the black door button will not function. Batteries have been changed a couple of times. You can always tell when it is going to work because the "key" lettering on the display will be green and its red when not working. Now a couple of days ago the "tcs" light stays on along with the anti skid sign.
Went to the dealer today and they said its the steering lock mechanism #gryj7629xc. $700 for the part and $500 labor!!! Anybody have this replaced before or had another solution?
Thanks
