STEERING LOCKED-UP
Hello,
Today after work I tried to start my 2000 Maxima. I had to turn the wheel until it clicked into a stop. That was strange, first time for that. I then tried to turn the key. There was no movement with the key. The chimes went off as I inserted the key. (The key worked in the door lock.) I wiggled the wheel from lock to lock. Still I could not get the key to turn. I stepped on the brake and wiggled the wheel to the right until it hit the lock and tried again. No luck, it was locked-up tight. Turned it the other way and experienced the same results. I can't get the key to turn at all. Has anyone experienced this problem? I need some serious help! Thanks

The key would not turn!

Took some pulling and turning of the wheel but it did work itself out and has not happened since.

Locked ignition???
Are you refering to the steering being locked or the ignition locked to where the key won't move?
A few weeks ago I had the ignition lock up on my 2K2 Max. I tried every trick in the book to get the key to engage and it wouldn't. I wound up having the car towed to a dealer where they replaced the ignition. It took them 10 days to find the part and replace it. Luckily the car is under warranty and they paid for the tow and the rental car.
When my wife asked if this was a problem, the writer said no. Now I'm no so sure...
Please let us know how you resolve it.

Long time viewer new to posting.
Happy with my max until this. I am having the same problem.
Tripower, did the dealer ever say what was the cause?
Had it towed to the dealer no ETR waiting for new ignition.
