Description of the problem	My 2011 hyundai sonata like many of the other complaints on here has had catastrophic engine failure due to a snapped rod. Like many of you i have kept up with the regular maintenance schedule and have been shut down by hyundai for repair under the 100,000 mile warranty. This problem is a serious public safety concern as it happens while the car is in motion and my question is what will it take for the nhtsa to take action and fully investigate this issue and bring it to recall? With the amount of complaints listed on the nhtsa website for this exact issue it seems like they are waiting for injury or even worse to occur before this issue is taken seriously.

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.
