Push button start problems - please help

[Philth]

Good to hear. Brake switch faults are supposed to be stores for the dealer to download and see at a later time. Next time it happens, you can most likely override the issue by holding down the start button for >30 seconds.

Just wondering if anyone has had a similar problem with the push button on the door handle? Several months ago I was having intermittent problems with unlocking/locking the door with that button. Took it to dealer and they said it was fine. Kept doing it, so I took it back and they told me it was the communicator (whatever that means). But they never ordered the part, and I put the car away for winter.

I'm getting ready to take it out for winter, but I've noticed this past week that now I'm having these push button non-start issues described in this thread.

Any chance these are related? The dealer has suggested I bring it back in, but I'm skeptical they can "duplicate" the problem, as they sure like to pull that crap.

Thanks.

I've had the start problem over the past week when the car is cold. I spoke to the dealer today and he said it was probably the brake switch and to bring it in as soon as I am able.

My 2010 Genesis Coupe had the same problem and it was the brake switch.

Did not take them long to put in a new one and no problems since, That was 2 years ago.

Love my Genesis Coupe 3.8 Track.

One thing I might add - the service writier said that the socket that the key fob goes into might be some sort of charger - I did not think that was the case....

any ideas on that what the pruose of that thing is?

(little socket next to 12volt plug right above shifter and below ac controls...)

I assumed it was just there to hold key - never thought it was a charger of any kind>???????

Its not a charger.

I bought the wife a 2010 G coupe 3.8 Grand Touring edition... purchase date was 7/18/2009.

(first one sold in Cincy)

She has put 4000 miles on it since new - and never had any issues with it until this week.

she was leaving work and with car in park (6 speed auto with paddles) and pushed starter (with foot on brake) and nothing...

dash lights up - but no starter spin...

she fiddles with it and it finally starts...

last night - same thing - and by now she is pissed off....

this morning - same thing - and seeing as it was in the garage - I walked out and tried it - NOTHING....

I took her to work and came home and played with it - I got it to start after I quickly kicked the brake pedal a few times.

I took it to our dealer (Columbia Hyundai - Cincy) and sat for 3 hours only to have them tell me that there is nothing wrong with the car. (they could not replicate the problem)

I explained that I thought it might be a sticky switch or something on the brake pedal assembly - and he said that it was not throwing codes - and nothing looked out of place.


I am curious if any one else has had problems with this system...

thanks
