Description of the problem	The incident occurred to me while i was 7 hours from home. I was stopped at a stop sign on a curve in the road. When clear, i accelerated and as i turned and merged into the road, the car started making a loud knocking noise and lost power as i was going up hill. Right before i lost all power, the oil light flashed briefly and the engine light came on. I restarted the car and again heard a loud knocking noise but was able to pull over to the side of the road. As soon as i slowed and stopped it died again. I ended up getting towed to the hyundai dealer. The next day i called and they let me know i had "thrown a rod and had bearing damage". They said i need a new engine and quoted me $12,800. I have provided all service records to them which prove that i have maintained the vehicle with oil changes and major services done at hyundai as well as valvoline. Their initial offer to me was they would cover 50% of the repair. My service advisor countered them with 90% and their final offer was to cover 60% and no rental - even being 7 hours from home. Before this incident occurred, i have not been able to open my rear passenger door in months due to needing a new actuator. I also let them know that i believed there was electrical issues because my tail light was always going out even after being replaced. I was dismissed and told that i had a faulty bulb. Same day after getting replaced, i was again getting that "check brake light" message. I believe there is a recall that i do not qualify for for this issue. After much research, i have found engine failure is a major problem with hyundai with many people on their 2nd and 3rd engines, including 2 people in my own family. I am extremely disappointed in the way hyundai is handling this situation and i will no longer be a hyundai customer. Please let me know if i can provide any further information. Thank you!

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.
