Steering problem
2005 Saturn Vue 6 cyl Two Wheel Drive Automatic

Most of the time when I turn my car off the steering wheel doesn't lock. I am also having trouble with the key not wanting to turn and that is how I noticed the steering wheel isn't locked. I try to turn the wheel to get the key to work and noticed the issue. I read about the cleaning of the ignition & key but was wondering if all this is realated to a more serious problem?

Cleaning the cyclinder might help but I recomend replacing the cyclinder if it's hard to turn and ur having problems with ur steering lock engauging. Also how worn is ur key?I would recomend getting a new key made at the dealer they cut a new fresh key not Copy ur old worn out one like at homedepot or walmart does. Let me know how it goes.
