You will be worried if it locks while you are driving it.
I'd be getting that sorted personally.
I'm not sure it will. Never had a problem with either cars in over a year of having them. It'll work without the barrel in but won't when it's assembled

Mine doesn't lock (steering wheel lock) until you take the key out then locks. May have rock the steering wheel to get it to engage (lock).

Which one is it?
I'm not sure what you mean?

The steering lock doesn't work with an ignition barrel installed, no difference if the key is in or not.
It engages with no barrel in though

The steering lock is made to work for when you take the key out of the ignition.

Yep, she's buggered regardless.
I wouldn't imagine it would kick in while driving as the other dude said
