Description of the problem	I have owned my 2011 hyundai sonata for one year. On july 15, 2011, i went to start the car and i could not depress the brake or start the car. The acc stuff would come on but no ignition to the motor. I tried and tried to start it and ended up calling the dealership. I was told to "kick" the brake pedal "hard" several times; which i did. I finally got it started and drove it to the dealership. I was told "brake light switch" replaced. Left the dealership and drove to my office and when i went to tried to start the car to leave the car would not start, but this time i had to call roadside assistance for the car to be towed back to dealership. Dealership told me they replaced brake light switch again. Now the traction control light comes on and my brake lights are not working. When i did get it to start the car would not go into any gear; it just was locked in park. Well, yesterday, july 20, 2011 the car had to be towed again because of all the same problems. So, the car has been back to the dealership three times within the past five days; two of which the car was towed. I am very concerned about my safety because i believe the brakes have something to do with the air bags not to mention the unknown electrical issues. *kb
