| Description of the problem | Yesterday, june 14, 2010 at approximately 6:30 p. M. I pulled in my driveway and shut the engine off. I gathered my purse and a couple of packages out of the car, shut the door and realized i had not closed the drivers side window up all the way. I got back in the car, put my key in and the key would not turn. I struggled with it quite a while thinking maybe it was the key. Pulled the key out and examined it and found nothing wrong. I left the door ajar, so this time i closed the door thinking maybe this was a safety feature and again the key would not turned. It took me wrestling with the steering back and forth from side to side several times before the steering wheel unlocked to power up to shut the window. It was very frustrating and concerned me hoping it would never happen while the car was in motion with everything else going on with toyota's and felt it needed to be reported and looked into. |
