Car will not start when i press the button with key the radio dosent come on but all the lights on dash comes on and air like it wants to start but cant i can hear the things in the car working but it shows a message across the dash sayin “check fuse break switch “ also what lead up to this was that i was driving in an apartment complex and i put the car in reverse and it just stoped repondin leaving me stuck in drive and neutral so i put the parking break on and got it towed home what can it be ?

I believe the issue is an electrical issue? The brake must be applied to start the vehicle and your car is "sensing" the FOB is present and you have enough battery. There must be a connector to a switch or fuse connected to the brake pedal arm/mechanism that is loose or faulty? There are some very smart people on this forum that can offer better assistance with this.

What happens if you press and hold the start button for over ten seconds?

There's a 10 amp "Brake Light Switch" in your interior fuse box. I would start there.

It starts but the brake lights don’t work

Well, you have your answer then. Something in the brake light circuit has failed. Usually that will be the brake light switch itself.

I changed my brake light switch & I am still having problems starting the car. I have a 2009 Genesis 3.8. Usually worse after being parked in my garage overnight. It starts after 5 or 6 tries. What else could it be?

Did you change the 10 Amp fuse mentioned previously?

All 10 amp fuses are fine. I checked battery cables. They’re secure. I started pushing the brake pedal as far as it will allow me to. It’s been starting, but I dont think it’s normal.

The brake switch is pretty cheap and easy to replace. It may be worth just doing that.
