Description of the problem	Engine recall i was driving home from work and suddenly loud ticking sounds starting coming from the engine. Then the power almost went to nothing and the car started slowly down (as if the car had been turned off (it was still on). The check engine light came on and the ticking sound got louder. I was able to safely drive off without any accidents. I got home and called several machanics to see if anyone could come by and see what's going on as i didn't feel safe to drive the car. Today a mechanic came and said the following: check engine light on. Loud valve train noises and faint knocking can be heard at idle. Dead misfire on one cylinder. Noise is mechanical. One dtc returned (po365 - can sensor b ckt malfunction). Per mechanic - strongly suspect engine is in early stages of common failure. Inquire w/mfg engine recall. It is showing same symptoms as previous year recall for sonata hybrids and engine failures. There is low of power and loud ticking noises from the engine.
