Key Wont Turn
Ok so apparently my rover won’t crank, actually the key won’t even turn. I actually went on a trip and took my mom’s Subaru so I’m not with the truck but my parents are frustrated and I want to get an opinion on what yall think the issue is and anything I could try before they go paying someone to do something. So basically as I understand it, when they went out to crank it one evening it acted like the key wouldn’t turn and the steering wheel was locked up. I don’t know how to describe this exactly but it’s happened to a few vehicles I’ve driven, and people have told me it’s happened to them before. Usually they finally get it to work by turning the steering wheel back and forth and fighting with it for a while until the key turns. At first this is what my parents thought it was but they fought with it and tried for a few hours by now probably as I understand it and it won’t turn. They’ve decided that this is not one of those normal occasional times, but rather that something’s broken. They’ve talked to a locksmith and the dealership and they suggest that the ignition is bad and needs replacing. If this is the case then that’s that, but I want to be as sure as possible that it needs to be replaced before I go spending this money. What do yall think? Any suggestions? They’ve fiddled with the key and steering wheel in every way possible. What else?
Thanks, Dane
