Default Difficult to turn on the car

Dears, I have Tahoe 2008 and to start the car every time I have to move the steering left and right till I finally get lucky.

It seems that the steering is locked almost every time.

if the problem the key won't turn in the ignition...and jiggling the key fixes it...worn key. try a different key or get a key cut from the code...do not trace the old key.

if the vehicle was build with a steering wheel lock and moving the steering allows the key to turn...make sure you don;t lock the wheel after you shut the vehicle off. locking the wheel puts tension on it000000
