$1450 later, the dealer swapped out the Steering Gear unit and (knock on wood) the car is back up and running. Only issue now is I do have one of my TPMS sensor that needs to get reprogrammed, fault is in the display (I thought they would take care of it) and the traction control light is still on for some reason. Will be contacting dealer to see what that could be, but Im guessing its from the low tire/TPMS fault code.
I'd be interested to hear some progress reports on performance and durability of the system from you... TIA

Ill definitely keep you guys updated. As I was returning the steering gear for a core charge refund I decided to inspect the damaged part for any physical defects and then snapped a couple pics of what I found. Seems that the pothole might have done it in ???

Not exactly sure, seems like the steering gear should be made out of steel though the way it cracked makes me think it was cast aluminum. Then again I believe the weight was 40lbs.
