Steering wheel won't unlock
My daughter has a 2002 L-Series Saturn that sometimes causes great problems (as in last night) because the steering wheel won't unlock. She inserted the key in the ignition but the key woulnd not turn and the wheel would not unlock. Eventually we "shook" the wheel as it were and it "unlocked". Is that common with the L-Series and/or does it sound like anything specific....maybe something inside the steering column????????????
Sounds expensive (doesn't everything)?? Any advice wowuld be most appreciated Lansdowne |

Re: Steering wheel won't unlock
Further to my original message...it seems to start fine when the wheel doesn't lock but when it is locked it seems as if the key won't go into the ignition. It will eventually go in but its hard to get the wheel to unlock. Does anyone know anything about such an issue???????????
thanks lansdowne |

Re: Steering wheel won't unlock
I had that happen to me for about a week straight on my 2000 LS2, and all I finally did was bounce the front end up and down hard enough to get it to unlock. We had three people bouncing on the front bumper to get it to lift enough to unlock. I haven't had problems since.

Re: Steering wheel won't unlock
Sorry I have not got around to responding...she got a new key made and, thankfully, the problem seems to be solved.
