Also have read that the motor can seize up and a couple of guys got it working by just banging hard on the wheel several times. The dealer wants to replace the steering column for $4,000! The position is fine for me where it froze. I'd just like to find a better way to get it working again for less than 4K! Anyone have any comments?

That’s what mine, and most of all the others, did when it failed. Warranty took care of mine, replaced with new not re-manufactured. Either you dig in and repair it yourself or find an Indy that will save you some $$$. Be glad it’s stopped in a position you can live with.
Good luck.
