Description of the problem	This issue effects 2. 4 liter gasoline direct injection engine model sonatas. Metallic debris may not have been fully removed during manufacturing of the engine crankshaft. If the debris was not completely removed, oil flow may be restricted through the connecting rod bearings, causing connecting rod damage. A worn connecting rod bearing will produce a metallic, cyclic knocking noise from the engine and possible engine failure resulting in the need to rebuild or replace engine. My engine first failed out in october of 2016 and caused me to require an engine replacement. In august 2017 that same engine had the exact same issue happen to it. This has been 2 of the 2. 4 cyl i-4 engines having the exact same issue on the exact same care with around the same mileage on both engines. There have been many various complaints reported all over the internet effecting this engine. Additionally, there is an open recall by hyundai for the 2011 hyundai sonata for the exact same issue because the 2011 sonata used the exact same engines that are in the 2008 sonata.
