Why Does My Steering Wheel Get Locked Suddenly

A steering wheel locked situation usually happens when the ignition lock system engages accidentally or when you try to start your car without turning the key correctly. It can also result from a jammed steering column or worn ignition cylinder. Avoid forcing the wheel, as it can break the mechanism. Gently turn the wheel left and right while turning the key to unlock. If it still doesn’t move, seek immediate roadside help from Crossroads Helpline.
