I’m dying in sub 10 degrees, just got off 9 hour work shift as an outside technician, and I’m sitting here panicking because my car is doing the same thing. 😂 AGREED. LIFESAVER.
Man the same thing happened to me twice in the last month, 90 degrees and 90% humidity in the car. The first time I spent 20 mins trying to start it and most have unintentionally put pressure on the steering wheel, and I miraculously start😂. The second time I was about to give up and call my parent for help but I decided to search online for help first and I found this RUclips video😭😭😭.
This literally just happened to me in this Maryland 90 degree weather ! Thank god I was in front of my apartment told my 8 year old to save himself. Called Triple A and then my brother sent me this video. Life saver!! Came in my place my son chilling in the air on his Ipad and eating snacks looked up at me and said everything good 😂😂🤬🤬😂😂😂
Thankyou so much!!! I was on the verge of tears. I was stranded with my baby in the car and with no one to help me. Now I'm safely home thanks to this video. :)
I’ve been going through sooo much and when I got to my car I was just ready to give up but you got me back on track in less than two minutes thank you, your video just saved a life
Thank you so much for this short and sweet informative video. My brand new Kia's ignition locked this morning. I thought it was going to be headed to the dealership for a repair after having it less than a month. Other videos said to hit the key with a mallet, that just did not sound like a good idea, then I came across your practical, common sense, easy to understand video and it saved me. Thank you, thank you !
OMG!!!! THANK YOU !!!!!I was stuck at a gas station thinking it was something really was serious with my car and my mom told me to try RUclips watch another video wasn't any help found yours and followed every step and boom my car cranked I'm so hyped and grateful thank you so much ur a genius.
I’ve had two problems with my car today. One where I couldn’t figure out how to turn on the key and the second was this. This man is a living LEGEND!! THANK YOU!!
Hey dude! My wife called me, stuck with this issue...while she was on the phone I looked at this video and got her out of trouble. Thanks for the vid!!!
@@NelksLife HOLY HECK HOW YOU FIGURED THIS OUT IS BONKERS WAY TO GO.. never knew that junk happens in these order vehicles was used to it in my sports car but it was an ez fix cuz it was all buttons but this a key so I was confused you came in clutch with this one right here
Thanks man. Just happened at the parking space at the mall on my Corolla 2016. Got nervous but decided to go online and check it out. I found you video and it worked. Thanks for the video man!
THANK YOU! We are about to leave on a trip and the steering wheel got locked with all the windows rolled down! Thank you for taking the time to make this video!
You're a God send! I was stuck in a rental in the middle of nowhere with 3% battery, screaming "just spit out the answer!" while watching the video Lmao. Thanks man
Thank you so much for explaining this situation...wow! Spent 60K on my Sequoia and to have this happen, blew my mind...on a friggin ferryboat of all places. Excellent!
I know this video is basically 1,000,000 years old in internet years but this just saved me a call to my mechanic and probably a towing bill. Thank you so much!!!
I just got out of work and the car wouldn’t turn on…it’s hot, im tired, my parents weren’t answering, but you came in clutch. Thanks bro, you’re a lifesaver 🙏💪!!
Thanks man... I was panicking that i would have to pay money that I didn't have to fix this. After doing what you said in your video, it started right up. I'm eternally grateful, thank you.
May work in some cases..and thanks for this.. Unfortunately when the steering wheel does not move at all you may have a tumbler problem and this needs to be replaced. Suggest that you have the ignition checked by your dealer to ensure your tumbler is OK.
Oh my god. Thank you. I freaking love you man. I just got done grocery shopping and I got in the car with my wife and couldn’t turn the key. I thought..noooo…all these groceries in the back and I might have to get a tow and also a fix. But I thought. Maybe RUclips has a solution. Then the car angels parted the clouds in the sky and the sun shined on down on my Toyota Corolla. I followed your instructions thinking..there’s no way this is going to work. So I turned the key and it worked…if you were in the car with me man. I would have gave you a kiss and bought you a 12 pack of beer. That’s if ya drank. Thank you very much. It was appreciated big time.
THANK YOU. It's late and I needed to stop and get gas, got it,went to leave and my key wouldn't turn. I checked the gas cap,lights,emergency brake, etc. Then went to YT because I don't know what in the hell I did. So thank for saving me from having an embarrassing moment calling roadside assistance for such a easy fix!
Thanks so much am 9yr old and my moms car was not starting, she thought it was the battery and I knew it wasn’t the case, so I watch this video and you solved the problem, I feel so proud of myself as a 9yr old, so thank you!
Sir! You just helped me out so much! I hopped in the car for a late night store run when I realized my steering wheel was locked. It doesn’t happen often but in any car I could get it unlocked. Today idk what happened but I wasn’t doing something right. I was borderline panicking hoping that I didn’t mess up anything. I watched this video after the Toyota one didn’t help. It had to happen when I exited the car earlier. But now I’m rolling again! Whew I’m glad this happened tonight at home and not out and about lol. Thanks
NelksLife, Thank You, Thank You, Thank You. Yes, I was in panic mode, and thinking I've got to be towed to the shop. Then I'm thinking, if the wheel wont turn, and I can't get it out of park, I'm screwed. Then a light-buld came on in my head, I punched in to my lap top... Key in ignition will not turn to start, and your video came up. I followed your instruction, and I was able to get the key to move, and start up my vehicle. You are a Lifesaver, Thank You and Bless You❤
👏👏 *THANK YOU* 4/23 - after working 17 hours in ER, I stopped at gas station, spilled entire cappuccino into drivers floorboard (must’ve hit steering wheel w/head cleaning it 🤦🏻♀️ 🤷🏻♀️) …I thought it was keyless entry & was about to break key off in ignition !!!! *THANK YOU* 🏆
Bro your vid just helped me out sssooo much. I just disconnected my battery also. I got a 2018 highlander and I got home @ 1a.m and been sitting in my SUV trying to get my keys out of the ignition, until I seen your vid. THIS NEVER HAPPENED BEFORE.THANK YOU
