Honda Fit lock cylinder may not turn due to rust inside the lock cylinder or damage to a certain component. Below is an introduction to the related content of Honda XRV: 1. Power: The Honda XRV is equipped with a 1.5T turbocharged engine that meets the National VI emission standard, with a maximum power of 177 horsepower. The transmission system continues to match with a 6-speed manual and CVT gearbox. 2. Design: The rear bumper of the Honda XRV is decorated with chrome trim, enhancing the sense of refinement; in terms of the exhaust system, the new car will provide either dual exhaust pipes or single exhaust pipe depending on the model. The interior design of the Honda XRV continues the current design style, with a simple center console shape and a reasonable layout of functional areas.

As someone with years of experience in car repair, I've encountered many cases where the Honda Fit's lock cylinder won't turn. The most common reasons are key wear or dirt accumulation inside the lock cylinder—dust or rainwater buildup over time can cause rust and jamming. Another possibility is mechanical failure in the lock mechanism, such as a broken spring or detached pins. I recommend first checking if the key is smooth and undamaged. If the key is fine, try spraying some lock lubricant inside, but avoid forcing the key to turn to prevent damaging the cylinder. If lubrication doesn't help, take it to a repair shop or dealership immediately—they can perform a thorough cleaning or replace the lock cylinder. After all, the lock cylinder is crucial for anti-theft security and shouldn't be neglected. To prevent this, avoid exposing the keyhole to water when parking and perform regular maintenance.

I've been driving a Honda Fit for several years, and once the lock cylinder suddenly wouldn't turn, which nearly drove me crazy. Later, I found out it was because the car was parked in a damp underground garage and the lock cylinder had rusted. Another time, it was because the key had deformed after being used for too long. If you encounter this, don't panic—it might just be a minor issue. First, try spraying some specialized lubricant spray. I bought mine online for just over ten yuan, and after a couple of sprays and gently wiggling the key, it usually helps. If that doesn't work, it might be due to internal parts being damaged or dust and sand getting into the lock. Try not to park your car in dusty roadside areas too often, and clean the keyhole monthly to keep it clean. After spraying, my issue was resolved, but if the problem keeps recurring, it's best to spend some money and replace the lock components—safety first, after all.

I believe driving safety is the most important. If the Fit's lock cylinder won't turn, stop immediately to avoid damaging the car or hurting yourself. This issue is often caused by a stuck lock cylinder or external debris blockage, and can also occur when condensation freezes in cold weather. Whatever the reason, don't attempt to force a repair yourself as it may backfire. Stop immediately and contact an authorized repair shop for professional assistance. They can professionally diagnose the issue, such as checking for lock cylinder wear or anti-theft system interference. Remember, delaying repairs may affect normal door or ignition system operation, creating greater risks. Regular cleaning of the keyhole area during car washes can help prevent this issue.
