Description of the problem	For the third time i have gotten in my 2011 hyundai sonata se and it will not start (push to start). The screen will either say the key is not in the vehicle or it will say press brake pedal to start (the key is certainly in the vehicle, how else did i get in with it locked). After repeatedly getting in and out of the car, locking and unlocking pressing the break pads, trying everything and then some for about a half hour the vehicle still will not start. This is the fourth hyundai i have purchased, second brand new and i have never had problems like this before but this is ridiculous. I've taken it to the dealer and they say they have never heard of this happening even though i have found numerous complaints for it online (what sources are they using, google turns up plenty of information). This is the third time i have been stranded in a dark, potentially dangerous area unable to start my brand new car that has already had a recall. I expect more than this. I will drop it off at the dealership again and after that i am going to invoke the lemon law. One recall is bad enough i would at least like to be able to start my vehicle. The battery is fine both in the car and the remote. At 8,000 i should not have any issues!

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.

Non-conformance of a car component with the specified requirements, or non-fulfillment of user expectations, including the safety aspects.
