| Description of the problem | 2011 hyundai sonata failed to start. I tried several times and the key light was lit on the dash panel. Tried several times and press brake pedal was screaming at me as i pressed the darn thing. Tried the key bob in the slot in the storage area and same result. Got out of the car and closed and locked the doors. Back in and tried again with the same results. Called my next customer and told them i would be late as my car would not start. Finally after 20 minutes i was able to get the car started with the bob in the storage area. Went straight to the dealer -they have never heard of this happening. |
