Description of the problem	I have a 2011 sonata that failed to start on three occasions. The first was about 8000 miles the second was at 10800 miles and the third was the next day from the second occasion. This car is less than 1 year old. As i went to start the car as i normally do the "press the brake pedal to start" would flash even though my foot was on the brake pedal. The first two times i was able to get it to start by repeatedly pressing the brake pedal and pressing the push button start more than 10 times. The third time i had no such luck and called the dealer for service. I noticed that on all 3 occasions that the brake pedal had more than normal pressure and would not depress at all. I assume that there is some sort of switch that tells the car that your foot is on the brake before the push button start will start the car. With the brake pedal not moving at all this switch is probably not being activated so the car does not start. *tt
