What is the reason for the car not starting and the steering wheel not turning?

The reason why the car won't start and the steering wheel won't turn may be that the steering wheel is in a locked state. Here are detailed explanations about the car steering wheel: Overview: The steering wheel is a wheel-shaped device used to control the driving direction of cars, construction machinery, agricultural vehicles, etc. The steering wheel is generally connected to the steering shaft via splines. Others: The driver controls the steering wheel to maintain or change the direction of the car according to the driver's intention. When a frontal collision accident occurs, whether due to the rearward movement of the steering wheel or the driver's forward impact on the steering wheel, the driver can be injured.
I encountered the same situation a few days ago when my car wouldn't start, and the steering wheel was stiff and wouldn't turn—it was so frustrating. Turns out, it was the vehicle's anti-theft system kicking in: the steering wheel automatically locks to prevent theft, and it engages when the key isn't inserted properly or turned to the right position. As for the failure to start, the main issues could be a dead battery or loose connections—I later found out that corroded battery terminals caused poor contact. It could also be a faulty starter motor or a broken fuel pump. The solution isn't too hard: first, gently turn the steering wheel left and right while trying the key to unlock it; then, check the battery voltage or try jump-starting. If that doesn’t work, take it to a repair shop to inspect the wiring or replace parts before the problem worsens. Regular maintenance of the battery and small components can prevent these headaches, especially during cold winter starts.
