Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.

“I tried to start my car and the key would not turn in the key ignition, I noticed that the steering wheel hadn't locked in place. I tried two other keys and finally the ignition turned and the car started. I drove to my destination and turned off the car and locked the doors. I went out to restart the car and the key would not turn in the ignition again. I called Lexus of concord and they advised me to bring it in. …”
