Sticky Key?
First I'm a newb and I know.
I just got a new 8, and love it. 8 out fo 10 times my car starts just fine. However, sometimes I stick my key in and it won't turn. It's like the keylock is stuck. If I try real hard I can get it to turn, but it feels like I'm about to break to key to get it to turn. Is something wrong? Is it me? (I hope so) I searched these forums and my manual but nothing says "in case key won't turn, do this and this, don't force it" |
^^^ work in a auto repair shop and have many customers call with that problem (steering locked)
|
Is this your first car? That happens with pretty much every car with steering lock.
|
Sorry, I'll try that.
I -did- say I was a newb, right? None of my previous 4 vehicles have done this, my last was a brand new (at the time) 2003 Hyundai Tiburon. It said it had steer lock, but never locked the ignition switch up like this 8 does. Oh well, I'm learning, only had my 8 for 1 day...so... |
Maybe the key is not cut just right and hangs a bit? If jiggling the wheel helps, then it's probably just the steering wheel / ignition lockout. May smooth out a bit after some use.
Welcome to the board! |
we all gotta learn sometime

Steering is locked just turn the wheel one way or another.

The 8's lock seems to pick up with less of a turn than in any of the other cars that I've driven. It's a wee bit toit.

Toit like a Toiga.

Thanks for all the help though, that was indeed the issue. |
