Cory you freaking rock. THANK YOU!!!!! No joke. I gave my son my 2011 Sonata and we literally had the car in the shop today (fuel pump). Got it home and the key wouldn't come out. I did what you did in this video and now it works flawlessly. I'm a single Dad GenXer and man I've never fixed car stuff before. Tonight I did. Again sir, freaking BRAVO and thank you sincerely.
Thanks for posting this. I had this happen twice in the past week. The first time I followed instructions in a related video that mentioned a switch at the bottom of the shifter. That fixed things temporarily. Then tonight I tried your method and found two little bits of loose plastic inside the knob. Easy fix for sure. Hopefully I'm all set now!
We had this exact problem in our 2012 Sonata. Another vid said it would be the microswitch at the bottom of the shifter. Tried this first... literally took less time than watching the video. Thanks so much for sharing. Two thumbs up.I
Thank you so much I own a 2011 Sonata and I literally got to work and could not get the key out of the ignition. I watch this video quick solved and under five minutes you’re the best!!
Omg, thank you! Had to go into work for an emergency and it's a rough neighborhood that's when this happened. There was no way I was leaving the key in the ignition. This was right to the point and I was on the job just a few minutes later. I truly appreciate it, Thank You Sir!
If anyone is watching this in case you can't get this done for some reason like you don't have a philips head screw driver or whatever, you can temporarily ressolve the issue by popping off the little fuse box cover right above the hood latch. Inside that fuse box there is a yellow fuse tab. Mine had a piece of masking tape over it for some reason.just pull on it slightly (no need to pull it out completely). This will kill power to the center console and dash and allow the key to come out of the ignition. Then just push the yellow fuse back in. There's another video on it. I wouldn't do this too many times though. I noticed it reset my dash clock. Hopefully it didn't reset anything else like the new software upgrade for the security system. That would be a huge fail for the upgrade. 😂
You just saved me 1800$ or more. After going through the fuse method for a couple days, I went to Hyundai today and after the initial evaluation they told me my shifter was broken and they had to change the whole thing and it’d cost 1800$
you saved me a headache. didn't even need to unscrew and the cover had already broken off so all I needed to do was remove the shift and shake it upside down
My 2011 Sonata key got stuck a few days ago, I watched a video and learnt about the fuse method but it is a temporary fix at best so although the key came out, the car's radio and clock etc wouldn't work. I then followed your video and did exactly what you taught and voila, shook out some plastic pieces like you did and now everything is fixed. I want to say a big THANK YOU. It is one less thing I have to worry about.
Dude you fucking rock. I almost shit my self when I got home today and my key wouldn’t come out. Gotta get a new shifter but that’s light compared to the panic I was feeling lol spent about 15 good minutes in a light panic before I found your video dude thanks. God bless and happy thanksgiving.
That is super crazy it fixed my issue instantly I was like why am I messing with the shifter when it's the ignition but as soon as I took the Handel off and put it back on it didn't have anything rattling around inside of it like you said but I just took it off and put it back on and it released my key.
Good vid. Unfortunately for me, my 2016 is still stuck in ACC and sometimes toward off, past ACC, and depressing the gearshift, knob off, and key will not move, either direction. I want to make sure the sensing lever is transmitting signal. Seems to me also like something is binding up toward the end of the turn, to Off like a lock cylinder issue. Intermittently over a year, and more often last six months being stuck up to hours. Then, here recently, it has progressed into what I just described at first. When I first got there, battery (agm), had just been recharged and key had been stuck for two days. Came right out for me, first try. Graphite in lock cylinder no help. I will definitely give it the shake test tomorrow.
@enochsutton22 actually it was on a friend's car. She purchased a lock cylinder to replace but it didn't work because she needed to replace the lock cylinder and the housing it snaps into. I told her to order it and to just start car with pliers until it arrives. She never called. She's still starting the engine with pliers 😔😂
couldn't find the part to buy or a part number, HOWEVER, start by taking the top shiny plastic piece off the gear shifter, then those two screws, see if there is some broken plastic in there. That was what it was for mine, I started by ripping everything out like he shows, but that was unnecessary as it all (including the microswitch) was fine. It may save you a lot of time to just pry off that shiny plastic piece on the gear shifter and start there, either way thanks for making this vid!
@coryament your fix worked great. The piece that broke off is from the top half of the shift knob cover. I was about to start tearing the whole assembly thing apart right in the middle of my grocery trip! Now how do you keep these cars from burning oil?! I'm down a quart less than a month after I paid $700 to replace the gasket with fresh oil change. Dang thing only has 65k miles. The dealer sort of acknowledged it the last time I brought it in for a fuel system servicing while it was still under the 10 year warranty. They said "Hey buddy you need oil asap". I said "huh? I had the oil changed less than 2k miles ago". I should have told them to change the oil right then to document when oil went in and brought it back when the dip stick was well below the hash mark so they could document the excessive oil burning. I screwed up.
@@porscheoscar unfortunately these engines have that problem along with tossing rods. they wont do anything for the oil consumption but when it starts knocking you get a new engine
@@jaygould7285 the main power fuse that shit every thing off. But I think the main problem is there is a piece broken in my shifter button. I just squeeze that and my key unlocks
@@trey_cj6544 you can drive it with out it. the price may still be stuck in there. they get under the button and dont let it return all the way. tap it against something solid while holding the button in
Cory you freaking rock. THANK YOU!!!!!

Fastest youtube fix EVER! Just happened, ran in, got on you tube, watched this, went out and 2 minutes later. DONE! Thank you for the fix!

What a rip! Also dealership charge so much more
Went exactly as you said on my 2013 sonata i just bought. Thank you so much man.
It works!
you saved me a headache. didn't even need to unscrew and the cover had already broken off so all I needed to do was remove the shift and shake it upside down
You just saved me! Thank you so much. I fixed it in 2 minutes with your videos help and still got in to work on time.
Thank you very !! Exact piece of broken plastic popped out!! Greatly appreciated!
Thank you, this fixed my issue the black plastic at least in my case is from the shift knob cover one of the hooks that is used to hold it in place
It really is stupid how they try to make it all fancy when its just a simple mechanism. Making it look and work fancy just means more can go wrong.
Same here, stupid problem but glad for the easy fix.

you just saved me a trip to the dealership or mechanic ! thank you ‼️
THIS IS LEGIT! Mine had the same extra pieces in there!
This man is a scholar or our time!
A life saver! Thank you so much! God bless❤
Your video saved my day!!! THANKS FOR SHARING!!!
You are the BEST!
Worked great!! Thanks, my man!

Thank you Cory !! I wish i would’ve found this video sooner 🙌🏼🙌🏼
You are heaven sent!!! Thank you very much. It worked exactly like you said it would.
Thank you for your video. It definitely helped me fix my problem.
Thanks!!!!! Saved me a bunch.
Thanks for the video. It worked perfectly on my 2011 Sonata.
Great video ! Extremely helpful
Thank you so much it is exactly what you said. That piece of plastic is the clips that hold the cover in place.
Worked liked a charm💯💯
Thanks for this, exactly what happened to me. Plastic was from the cover with mine.
Awesome problem solver, I saved $380 almost
This worked perfect. Thank you so much
Thank you!! You saved me from spending money lol :))
Thank you quick fix

I’m currently having this problem with my 2017 what was the issue if you ever got it fixed??

Wow great fix. Do wonder what that piece is
Thank you.. big help😊
Thank you it worked for me
Thats crazy!!
How much is a new shift knob and boot?
I honestly have no idea
@coryament your fix worked great. The piece that broke off is from the top half of the shift knob cover. I was about to start tearing the whole assembly thing apart right in the middle of my grocery trip!

Ive been taking the fuse out of the fuse box to release it. Today I took this all apart I hope this is the actual fix
Did it work? I’ve been doing the same
@@desireevargas9416 yes
I have a 2015 Hyundai Tucson. Exactly which fuse had you been removing in order to release the key? And.. thank you.
@@jaygould7285 the main power fuse that shit every thing off. But I think the main problem is there is a piece broken in my shifter button. I just squeeze that and my key unlocks
@@lshaffer1980 .. I'll look to see if that's what's going on with mine also. Thanks for your fast reply.
What year model is this?
I bet those two pieces were from underneath the knob cap.
i did this and only one came out 😭 so it’s not working. any other suggestions
If it works with the shif knob removed the problem is still in the shift knob. There may still be a peice stuck in there
@@coryament it works with the shif knob removed. should i just drive without it?
@@trey_cj6544 you can drive it with out it. the price may still be stuck in there. they get under the button and dont let it return all the way. tap it against something solid while holding the button in
Do this work on 2017 Hyundai
I think so
Those are pieces of the black cap on top of the knob, !!!!! 2024 / April
Knob cap defect
