Description of the problem	While traveling on the highway my husband and i started to hear a loud clanking noise under our hood. We barely made it off the next exit, with vehicles having to quickly go around us because our speed was slowing down and then vehicle died, we were stranded in the heat on the side of the road with our dogs. After speaking with hyundai corporate they told us to have it towed to the nearest hyundai dealership. We did and a case was opened with hyundai. It was diagnosed at the hyundai dealership as premature engine failure due to no fault of ours but the warranty department denied our claim because we are second owners. The engine in our car has been recalled in other models but hyundai is trying to hide the fact that it extends to the tucson. It is extremely dangerous to not recall and inform all hyundai owners with this particular engine to take it in for repair immediately! The engine will fail with no warning lights and fast, usually on the highway. It fails at very low miles when you would least expect an engine to fail. It is a huge safety concern for the owners and other drivers on the road.

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.
