The key would not turn in my 2000 Cadillac Deville. After several times at trying and turning the wheel left and right while turning key. It finally turned. What is the problem?

"Sir,

Sometimes it does. Sometimes it doesn't. Yes, the wheel was locked at the time. But, it does do it frequently, more times than not. Just started doing it today."

I had the same trouble with my 89 deville, and the locksmith cured it with simply shooting a little lubricant into the key cylinder. It was called tri-flow superior lubricant. Try that!

Just replyed to your email sir. Follow my diirections on there.

And yes joseph, that stuff works really well and it usually only requires lubrication, better then replacing the cylinder!
