Why Won't My Car Key Start the Engine?

[MacLola]

There may be several reasons why your car key won't start the engine: 1. Dead Battery: A dead car battery usually manifests as the starter not working or rotating insufficiently when attempting to start the engine. 2. Gear Not in P Position: Since automatic transmission vehicles don't require frequent gear changes, drivers may forget to shift into P or leave it in N when parking. When attempting to start the car later without noticing, the vehicle won't start. 3. Steering Wheel Lock: If the steering wheel isn't straightened and turned to a certain angle when parking and turning off the engine, it may automatically lock, preventing the car from starting.
