Have a lexus is250 and the steering wheel is locked and it won't start. It is keyless. I think I might have parked it with the wheels turned. The brake pedal is hard to press. Help.

YOU MAY HAVE A FAULTY ITERLOCK SWITCH ON BRAKE PEDLE TO IGNITION CAPSULE, CHECK FOR A SHORT OR OPEN CURCIT

SOURCE: Steering Lock

Most likely the steering components are in a bind. I would try and move the steering wheel around while trying to turn the key. You can try to turn the wheel ever so slightly to unbind the wheel and then you should be able to turn the key.

Thank you for your question, and please let me know if I can help with anything else.

Well the only thing that can make the steering wheel hard is a broken power steering pump belt, or if you ran out of fluid, this happens only if you have a hydraulic power steering,But if you have an (EPS) which means Electronic Power Steering. Then that could be an electronic problem that you should talk to your dealer about because your car seems to be under warranty still and you don't wanna play with it until you see what they say about that. Good luck
