I have a 2001 Land Cruiser, and the steering wheel lock mechanism has randomly engaged a couple of times while driving. The only way I could get it to release was by forcefully cranking the wheel.
From what I’ve read, this could be related to a worn ignition cylinder, a faulty key/lock alignment, or an issue with the steering column components that control the lock pin. I’m also wondering if a bad ignition switch or damaged wiring could cause it to engage when it shouldn’t.
Has anyone else experienced this, and if so, what was the fix?
