What is the reason for the steering wheel not returning to center and the car key not turning?
1 Answers
The automatic locking function of the steering wheel is activated, causing the steering wheel not to return to center and the car key not to turn. Here is the relevant information: 1. Steering wheel lock: This is a simple anti-theft feature. For vehicle safety, when the car is turned off, if the steering wheel is turned left or right or the wheels are not straight when parked, force applied will cause the steering wheel to turn, triggering the self-locking function. The steering lock pin engages with the steering column, making the steering wheel immovable. 2. Reasons why the steering wheel does not automatically return to center: The outer steering gear is damaged or the free play adjustment bolt of the steering gear is too tight; incorrect toe-in or camber angle; damaged suspension bushings causing severe inner tire wear.
