problem #1

Nov 072007

RAV4

  • Automatic transmission
  • 8,000 miles

Ignition locks up and I am unable to start the vehicle. Sometimes rocking the car (as much as possible while its in part) will release it. Other times, jerking on the steering wheel. So far, the longest it has taken to unlock has been about 10-15 minutes. This has happened too many times to remember. I always use the parking brake, so that's not the solution to the problem. I took it to the dealer, Community Toyota in Baytown, TX and was told they couldn't do anything about it unless it happened while they had it. Naturally, it's not an "on demand" occurrence. Just want to know if others have this same problem, and if so, how has it been fixed.
