Description of the problem	I commute to work for 2-3 hours a day. On 12 july 2019 i was traveling to work on the beltway (695 north toward 95 north) and i heard something sounding like a hard pop or thumb and my car started to shut down in the middle of the beltway. I was able to get it to the shoulder of the road where it completely shut off and would not start again. I called a towing company to have my car towed back home because i had no idea what was going on or what was wrong. Later during the week i had my car towed to a mechanic who then told me the problem was the engine and it had to be replaced. I am so frustrated right now. This is my only means of transportation. My issurance company covers nothing. I have to pay for towings, i will have to pay for labor and repairs myself, while still making car payments and insurance payments. This is more than a serious burden on me. I am 62 years old and the stress of this whole situation is becoming unbearable. No, i don't have a husband, or children or signifcant other to help me. It is me and me alone who has to come up with money that i do not have. I have been home from work for a week, ever since this happened. I can not afford to miss another day, but i have no transportation to get there. Was there a recall on my car for engine problems?

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.
