What Causes a Honda Car Key to Get Stuck?
1 Answers
Honda car keys getting stuck can generally be attributed to two main scenarios: 1. The key cannot be turned after insertion. The primary reason for the key being stuck is that the steering wheel was not properly aligned during the last parking, causing an abnormal lock. In such cases, you can gently turn the key with your right hand while simultaneously wiggling the steering wheel left and right with your left hand to release the key. 2. The key cannot be removed after turning off the engine. This issue frequently occurs in automatic transmission vehicles. The cause is that the gear shift lever is not fully engaged in the P (Park) position. Sometimes it may appear to be in place, but it hasn't triggered the electronic sensor, or there might be obstacles like coins in the gear slot preventing proper engagement. The owner should inspect the gear slot for any foreign objects and remove them; then start the car, shift the gear again to ensure it's fully engaged, and the key should then be removable.
