My account \|logout show the: worst vehicles update a car complaint step 2 of 3 -- edit your complaint you wrote... Add another one to your list of complaints i was on my way to work and on a major highway when my engine completely seized. I lost power, brakes, and steering. Thank god i was able to coast to the left turning lane or i would have been slammed into from behind and probably would not be here to tell about it. I cannot believe that these cars have not been taken off the road by the nhtsb. When we called hyundai to tell them what happened their service advisor said "oh yeah that is typical for those engines". So, a car with known engines problems and seizing and known fires is still allowed to be on the road? While at the same time, the car has an ongoing recall for no airbags with no solution to that problem. So if i had been ran off the road with no brajes, power or steering, the airbags probably would not have deployed either. Tge worst part is i took the car to hyundai 8 months ago and was told that none of the symptoms that my car had, which matched the recall exactly, were part of the engine issue. Seriously? I am thinking, they were wrong. And on top if that. They wanted to charge me to look at it for their recall! After engine seizing, rhey replacef engine... Rhree days later, my engine seized. Un -freakin'-believable!

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.
