1. Ignition key bent
If you have a bent key, it may be able to enter the cylinder. However, once inside, it is not aligned properly. The car will not start, no matter how many times you try to turn it.
2. Key Worn Out
If you have an older car, it is possible that your key is worn out. It’s the most common reason why car keys do not turn in the ignition. The pins inside the cylinder will not drop correctly, stopping you from starting the car successfully.
When u have a spare key available, use it first. If it’s not around, you can get your car’s Vehicle Identification Number (VIN), which you can find on the side windshield.
Maybe chances are it’s inside the door jamb，contact your dealership so you can get a new key.
For newer cars, you may have to get the attached code to your key, which you should give to your dealership instead of the VIN.
3. Do You Have the Correct Key?
Even if you have been driving for a long time, you could mistakenly grab the wrong key from the table or the keyring and insert it into the cylinder. Some keys do look similar……
4. The Key Dirty?
Just cleaning the key can make a huge difference. Use a cotton swab with some rubbing alcohol to get rid of any foreign material on the surface.
