If your steering column is locked, don’t panic! In a key start vehicle, simultaneously put key into the ignition and gently wiggle back and forth as much as you can, and gently wiggle the wheel as far left and as far right as you can. It may get frustrating but keep going, and the wheel will eventually loosen and you can then start your car!
Even though it may be annoying, this is a safety feature. Make sure your wheel is straightened after parking and you shouldn’t run into this issue!
If you have any more questions, call Lexus of Memphis Service Department at 901-271-5199!
