Why is the brake pedal on my Hyundai Sonata stiff, and why won’t it start?
I’ve had my Hyundai Sonata for about two years. When I tried to start it this morning, it wouldn’t start—and my brake pedal feels hard. What’s going on?

It’s definitely frustrating when your car won’t start. There are a few reasons why your car may not be starting that would also cause the stiff brake pedal. Here are a few:
Bad ignition switch
Low brake fluid
Disconnected starter cable
The good news is that a mechanic can fix these issues fairly quickly, so try to get your vehicle serviced as soon as possible.
