Steering wheel not turning as usual on 2001 chrysler sebring

IF this has an air bag in the steering wheel, you should not do it.

power steering fluid is low or pump is going bad.

steering wheel is rubbing on column covors, silicone spray should fix. sometimes the horn ring contact can make a similar noise

Is your steering wheel locked. try turning the wheel with extreme force the either direction

try giving it a good tug and wiggle the key at the same time

1) Wrong key 2) Shift lever out of park or neutral 3) If steering is locked, it is exerting too much pressure on the ignition, try jiggling it while turning key.

Turn the wheel to the left while turning the key forward. your steering wheel is locked.

the belt will be on the front pulley on the power steering pump

check the power steering fluid and the condition of the drive belt

When you put the key in the ignition, try giving it a few good taps right on top of they key. That usually does the trick for me. Also, always be sure the wheels are straight before turning off the ignition. For some reason, parking with the wheels turned often causes this lockup problem for me. It can be a pain, but just keep tapping and it should unlock.
