Description of the problem	Car will randomly not start after parking it. Depress brake pedal through the floor, press start button, yet it says "press down brake pedal to start". This is the third time in three weeks. The first time i got it started after ~30 minutes. Second time, within ~ 5 - 10 minutes. This third time, i couldn't get it started. Had to call for a ride. Went back next day, tried again unsuccessfully for ~ 30 minutes. Called roadside assistance. They never came. After ~1:45 minutes, i tried one more time and got it to start. Each time, the steering wheel was turned strongly to the left and it felt locked. Each time i was eventually able to yank the steering wheel to the right and was able to get it to release. Felt like the hydraulics kicked in. Then, it would start each time. This didn't happen the first time i messed with the steering wheel .... But each time i was able to eventually make it do it. Until then, it had that locked feeling of no hydraulics. Other than this, no brake issues, no steering issues, no lights on dash, etc. One exception, first time coming down a hill, i had the esc (brake) light come on briefly. Very similar to other reports on this website.
