Description of the problem	Originally i drove this vehicle which is mostly driven by my wife on the week of 27oct20. I noticed a few times something smelt like it was burning, i couldn't decipher if it was a burnt oil or electrical smell. While driving down the road with my kids in the vehicle the engine just shut off, i was able to throw it into neutral and press the start button and it started right back up as i was rolling down the street. It did this two more times before i got to my destination. I brought it to the dealership that friday, 30oct20 for an oil change and for them to look into it. It was at the end of the day so they had no upper technicians to check it out but they did perform an oil and cabin air filter change and asked that i bring it back. 3 weeks later on 19nov20 i was driving my kids again when the engine started to knock and shut off again. I had the vehicle towed to the dealer on 28nov20 after looking into this issue and reading a bunch of articles about hyundai & kia being fined for not responding to a recall which stated debris from manufacturing could restrict oil flow to connecting rod bearings, which is exactly what the knocking in my engine sounds like, potentially causing the four-cylinder engines to stall or catch fire. I have had all of this minus the fire thank god! But, now the it makes sense about the burning smell i was smelling. I believe all these issues are tied into campaign#/recall 162. For this recall a sensor should've been installed in my vehicle back in 2017 according to service records that should've indicated this issue and alerted me. Even to the day it was towed to the dealership the engine would run, knock but not one service light would light up on my dashboard. I'm still waiting for a hyundai representative to come and inspect my vehicle as it has not moved since it was dropped off with the dealer.

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
What is Defect?
Non-conformance of a car component with the specified requirements, or non-fulfillment of user expectations, including the safety aspects.
