Why is the steering wheel not locked but cannot be turned?

[StJohnny]

There are three possible reasons for this situation: 1. The car was not parked with the steering wheel in the correct position, causing the steering wheel to jam and making it difficult to turn, and the key cannot be inserted. The solution is to first insert the key, then press the brake, and while gently turning the steering wheel left and right with your right hand (the steering wheel lock allows slight movement), gently turn the key with your left hand. Repeating this process a few times should start the engine. 2. The key's tumblers may be worn out and stuck. In this case, sometimes the key can be turned, but if the problem is severe, it may get stuck and cannot be turned. The solution is to visit a 4S store or auto repair shop to replace the key tumblers. 3. The steering wheel's automatic anti-theft lock feature, which is designed for vehicle security. Usually, after starting the engine with the key, the steering wheel will automatically unlock.
