Can a worn key cause a car not to start? ๐๐
Yes, worn-out or damaged keys can make the car not start.
Car keys usually become worn over time and might stop working properly with the ignition and locking mechanisms. You might notice:
โธ The key is difficult to turn
โธ The key feels loose in the ignition
โธ The car doesn't recognise the key
โธ The key works inconsistently
If your key is showing signs of wear, don't wait until it stops working completely. You could end up locked out or unable to start your car.
