Description of the problem	Car won't start with push button. I took it to dealer who replaced shifter cable, brake switch and some other recalls that was part of the porblem and supposedly it was fixed. Next day i went to gas station with my 4 years old daughter and wife and got stuck. First it won't start, then it started but gear display won't ready. I shifted to drive to leave but car started moving in reverse direction. I almost hit the car and person behind me getting gas for his car. Car transmission was not reading what mode drive, reverse, neutral it was in and with guessing i left the area. I took it to the hyunda dealer who tested and replaced inhibitor switch and said it's fixed but charged me #311. 25. I believe all of these issues with shifter cable, brak swtich and inhibitor switch are inter related and should be further looked into to avoid accidents and hyundai should expand the recall to replace the swtich. I have spokend with hyundai customer service but they refused to further look i nto this issue and cover the cost of replacing inhibitor swtich.
