Description of the problem	Urgent. 1) defective engine per hyundai's admission. I will not accept a software 'bandaid' approach to patch to my main ecm to resolve this problem. I did go in to sheppard motors to get this bandaid applied to my car. This is a bandaid, and shame on hyundai. My engine is warrantied through july 2023. I've been around. 2) my car is brand new, with only 27,400 miles on her 3) the latest recall on both the low and high pressure fuel line/ hoses etc. Should i wait for a fire here? Dear nhtsa: please look up all of the recalls and extended warranties on my vehicle. Unacceptable to me. I believe that no quality control whatsoever was practiced and applied on the factory production lines. Hyundai focus -- big money. Pressuring factory workers to put in any part they can find. I have some stories here about the audio system on my car that will absolutely blow your collective minds. I've been around. 4) hyundai long since sent me extended warranties on a) the entire engine b) brake pedal stopper c) front coil springs d) seat belt tensioners (drivers tensioner was already replaced, and yet, it still does not retract completely when exiting the vehicle pray tell, what gives hyundai? New car here. My greatest concerns about this new car that i paid for in cash -- and was defrauded in that process as well -- i could have bought a honda for much less, and never have any problems. I am rather frustrated here and pray for government advocacy and intervention. Thank you so very much. #1 i need a brand new motor, the whole motor, which has been thoroughly quality control tested and proven, and which has been completely tested. My motor is very, very noisy. So, do i wait for the rod bearings to fail completely and stall out my car, causing a fatal crash? #2 i need both my low and high pressure fuel lines and hoses, etc. Replaced

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.
