I'm at work so posting this really quick to sees if anyone can help. Having an intermittent problem where when I start my car the steering wheel stays in the locked position. In order to fix this I have to turn it off and restart it. Problem solved but I don't know why it's doing this. It doesn't happen every time but this is the second time over a two week period. Anyone got any ideas on what's going on here? Thanks in advance.

I think but am not sure that there is a mechanical mechanism between the ignition switch and our steering lock. I would guess that some part of that mechanism is worn out or broken and the fix would be in your steering column.

Ok thanks for the input. Guess I'll be taking it in for a look

That would be the clockspring.

EDIT: Ah snap. Found an old there here.
