Re: Car Trouble
It sounds like something came loose in the steering wheel, causing the lock to jam
Im assuming the $800 was to tow the car AND to fix it?
I had a '84 dodge van, and when it was about 8 years old the steering wheel started to feel loose, it had a lot of play
It didnt lock up like yours, but I had to pull the steering wheel off, and take half the steering column apart to get to 4 screws. Three were completely loose, and only the 4th was holding the whole thing together
why it came loose after 8 years of use? I have no idea.
do you know for sure if the door was locked when you got in? Maybe someone broke into the car and had tried to steal it, and broke your steering mechanism in the process. If so, your insurance might cover the damage (attempted theft).
