Description of the problem	I was driving my 2011 sonata hybrid down a interstate at 75 miles an hour when it stopped accelerating/working. I had my 3 year old daughter in the car with me at the time. I had to swerve to avoid an accident and was able to find a safe spot to park. I waited for 1/5 hours for a tow truck to come. After dropping my car off with the hyundai dealership i was told my engine seized and i would need a new one for $9,000. This is completely ridiculous. My care has $75,000 and i am the second owner. The recall right now does not include hybrid/korean made models of the 2011 sonata, so hyundai states they will not pay for any repairs. I am perusing legal action in the hopes to have this problem identified. My daughter and i could have been killed, and many other owners are at risk.

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.
