Okay, so this freaked me out. I parked my Fusion in front of the store, went in for like five minutes, and when I came back out, the steering wheel was completely locked. I couldn’t turn it at all, and it wouldn’t even let me start the car. Talk about frustrating! I was standing there trying to jiggle the wheel and turn the key, but nothing worked.
After a bit of panicking and googling, I found out that it’s actually a pretty common issue with Fords, especially when the steering wheel gets turned a little before you park. Apparently, if the wheel locks at just the right angle, it can cause this problem. But seriously, has anyone else dealt with this? Is there a trick to unlocking it quickly? I tried turning the wheel while wiggling the key, but it took a lot of force before it finally gave in. I’d love to know if there’s an easier or faster way to get out of this jam!
