| Description of the problem | I have experienced this problem 3 times, my 2011 hyundai sonata limited failed to start. I like many others had my foot on the brake and hit the start button as i usually do and nothing happened but the dashboard indicator kept reading "press on brake pedal and push button to start" i repeatedly tried over and over. After 15-20 failed attempts i pulled out my manual, no work around. I then called the dealer, who told me to stomp on the brake hard. I did and after three cycles it started. |
