Help car won't start I have an 05 tl I got into it this morning an the steering wheel was extremely stiff not only that the brake pedel was too which was completely strange I'm pretty sure it's not the starter I can crank my key but only hear an odd sound that seems to be coming from the steering wheel not sure if I should tow it to the shop of call a locksmith anyone ever experienced this mishap

Confused, but when you "crank the key" is the engine turning over or not?

No nothing happens expect the dash lighting up sometimes a buzzing sound that sounds like it's coming from the steering wheel🤔🤔🤔

Bad ignition switch or bad starter.

Ignition switch is an easy DIY and about $40. See this thread, posts #31 and #33:

Have you checked the + battery cable? At this age it might be corroded internally to the point where it can no longer conduct enough juice to start the car.
