Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	Sudden loss of acceleration/power while driving car straight through a parking lot. Thank goodness i hadn't made it to the highway! All dash lights came on and car came to rolling stop. Turned car off and when i turned it back on there was a loud rattle in the engine while accelerating. Took it to a mechanic right away and was advised the engine would need replacement (though they did not take it apart to determine exact issue). Issue seems consistent with other complaints about this make/model and in line with the issues from the recent engine recalls on sante fe and sonata models. Car only has 82k miles and is now complete junk. Hyundai won't help.

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.
