How to Avoid Steering Wheel Lock in Your Car?

Steering Wheel lock in your car is the one you should avoid getting into especially if you do not know how to unlock it.  What if you are parked somewhere and when you turn your key to start your engine and your key would not turn thus your car would not start.

Maybe you would panic, especially if its an emergency situation.  Well, if that would happen to you, the likely reason why your key would not turn is because your steering wheel had locked. 

Why does the steering wheel locks?  This usually happens when you have turned your steering wheel when the ignition or engine is already off.  And this happens to automatic transmission vehicles often.

In order to avoid this, do not turn your steering wheel if the engine is already off.  It will cause your steering wheel to lock.

In any case, if your steering wheel is already locked and your key won’t turn to start your car’s engine, turn your steering wheel either to the right or left at the same time that you turn your key.

By doing that, your key would turn to start your engine and unlock your steering wheel at the same time.  See this interesting article regarding another person’s experience with his vehicle’s steering wheel lock — http://hubpages.com/hub/fordescape2010steeringwheellock.
