Description of the problem	When the steering wheel locks after you turn off the car, a fair percentage of time you can't turn the steering wheel to start the car. It sometimes locks down so hard you need two people to turn it. I was stranded in 105 degree heat trying to get my car started, i am 86 years old if my son didn't come by i would have had serious problems. Hyundai verified that there is a problem with turning the steering wheel to unlock the car to start it but they all do it. I have a car now i can't drive. We want our money back.
