Mechanical key wouldn't unlock door

Ed_Collins · 07-26-2014, 12:17 PM

Update: I took it back to the dealership where I bought it (a Mitsubishi Dealership) and they confirmed something is definitely wrong. They also played with it and jiggled it and sprayed the inside of the lock with a lubricant, all to no avail.

But they didn't do any more than this. They said if they got in there and attempted to fix it, it would possibly void the warranty. They said it's still under the new car warranty and that I should take it to a Nissan Dealer. So I made an appointment (which hasn't been confirmed yet) to do this next week.

Jcosta: Yea, I tried that to and the key just won't turn to the right. Something inside the lock is definitely preventing the key from turning in that direction.
