Key not turning in ignition cyclinder
Hello,
I just ran into this issue and posting this as a heads up for 15' fit LX (mine is a cvt) owners, for some odd reason when I put the key in the cylinder it is completely stuck. I cannot turn it at all. I just called road side assistance but they can only tow the vehicle to a dealer for mechanical problems.
This is very frustrating and disappointing. I only have 4200 miles on the vehicle so for something this weird to happen just blows my mind.

Is this the ignition lock or the door lock?
If it's the ignition lock, sometimes that happens when the wheels are turned to one side and causing a torque on the steering column. The solution then is to pull the steering wheel in the direction the wheels are turned to ease up the force on the steering column lock.

. Most likely just something faulty that warranties will cover
