New Guy, Control+R Dosen't work/Face Acts with a mind of its own

Hello,
beginner in blender here, and i’ve been trying to make a realistic car using a tutorial. However, a face has been glitching, so I try to make an edge loop (Ctrl + R) but blender dosen’t see that particular face as an option. How do I fix this? (using mirror, Solidify and subdivision surface modifiers.)

Hello there!

You can create Edge loops only on quad faces, but this looks like an N-gon.
You can connect vertices across the face with with J, which creates an edge between two selected vertices and cuts the face
OR
cut it with Knife tool.
