My wife called the dealership and told them that after having the work done the steering wheel would no longer lock, and they said "sure it will if your turn it". Well you can turn the steering wheel left or right as far as you won't and it doesn't lock.

What is the purpose of having the steering wheel lock, is it meerly a theft deterent or a safety issue? Since the wheel doesn't lock while in park with the key out is there a danger of it locking while in gear and being driven?

Any thoughts?

Thanks
