My car has started having a problem with the steering wheel lock not allowing the key to turn. It takes a lot of wiggling of the steering wheel, swearing and kicking of the front tires to start the car now. This problem started fairly suddenly yesterday. Once you get the key to turn past the wheel lock position there are no problems. Anybody have any ideas?
