Description of the problem	I bought a 2011 hyundai sonata in march of 2010 brand new. I have had problems with the tires had to be replaced after year two, and when they were being replaced they said that the air valve on the tire was corroded when i went to hyundai to get the part replaced they said that it wasn't corroded it was broke off because there wan't a cap on it and it got wet. So, they said that i had to buy a new one, and they would send it up under the warranty and i would be refunded that did not happen. After that my push start would not start when i pushed it. I would have to push it about three times and then it would finally start. I took it to hyundai, and had it replaced not under warranty any more is what they told me. So i paid the 287. 00 for it. After i got it home and went into grab something came back out and it did it again. Took it back to gateway hyundai in richmond to have it fixed and they said it needed a nother starter. I didn't have to pay for the part but i was going to have to pay for the labor. Nope didn't get it fixed. I would just start it three times instead. Then i had to replace the brakes last year 2012 because it wore only on one side, and now the engine blew a rod. They claimed that it was because of not having enough oil in it, but then told me i had a quart to much of oil. Now really does that make any sense? This is absolutely ridiculous. Then they told me i could trade it in for a new hyundai but would have to put $5000. 00 down on it which is convienantly the amount they quoted me to have my engine fixed because they said it wasn't under warranty because i hadn't kept all my receipts for oil changes for the past three years.

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.
