Steering Wheel Locked

[garyzhao]

Today, my ES330 steering wheel is locked, the car wont start after inserting the key as the key cannot be moved backword or forwards. I came to this forum. And, found other owners had the same problem.

Now post my experience for sharing. What I did -

1) inserted the key in the door, open and close the door a few times;

2) got in the car, and inserted the key into ignition, the key still cannot be turned around;

3) held the steering wheel, and pulled it towards myself while turned the key again; the car started;

Hopeflly my experience can help others who may have the same problem.
