Most likely there is an issue with the brake pedal permissive to allow the car to start.
Need to take the car to the dealer service department and have them look at it.
This has been a fairly common issue and 99.9% of the time it's the brake pedal permissive isn't adjusted or working right.

Does the dash say anything about having to press the brake pedal before starting? If so, the brake switch is most likely defective.

If not, have you tried to replace the battery of the key fob?

Fob does not need to be put in slot to start the car. Make sure you push brake pedal down before pushing start button. I also agree with others that the brake pedal lock out switch is out of adjustment or is defective.

The key slot does NOT charge the battery FYI. I believe this is also mentioned in the owners manual.

+1^ Why do people keep thinking the car can charge the battery in the fob?

Read the manual folks.

Replace the battery. Doesn't charge.

No disrespect.. i took it to the service dept and I am going by what they told me. .. I asked them if they changed the battery and they said "no, we charged it" this is the Hyundai dealer in Marlton

Unfortunately its impossible they charged it. The fob lacks the inductive coil required for wireless charging, and doesn't have any exterior touch points. I would advise avoiding that dealer in the future at all costs as they are clearly unqualified to work on your car.

^ Yep!

Section 4 of my 2011 Genesis sedan manual has the information on the smart key and battery replacement. Example-if the key is placed near a cell phone the key may not work.
