What to Do When the Steering Wheel Locks Up?
1 Answers
If the steering wheel is not returned to its proper position when parking, causing it to lock, you can resolve this by gently turning the key with your right hand while simultaneously rocking the steering wheel left and right with your left hand. For automatic transmissions, if the gear is not fully engaged in the P (Park) position and fails to trigger the electronic sensor, the steering wheel may lock. In this case, you need to properly realign the gear. Check if there are any obstructions in the gear slot. If found, remove them, start the car, and shift the gear again. If none of the above methods work, you will need to call a tow truck to transport the vehicle to a 4S dealership for repairs.
