Description of the problem	Hyundai tucson theta-ii engine failure. My tucson experienced sudden onset oil problems overnight. I parked the car on thursday night in my driveway, everything was fine. Friday morning when i turned it on the oil light was on. I confirmed i was not scheduled for an oil change for another 2000 miles but added a quart of oil to be safe and the light went off. Shortly after as i was driving to work the engine starts ticking and losing power and gets worse the farther i drive. I and was 700 miles past the extended 100,000 bumper to bumper warranty i purchased when i bought the car new. The dealer's mechanic said the rods failed which caused engine failure. This is the same problem as described in the hyunda and kia engine recall, however the tucson model is not included as part of the recall. The service department would not assist me in any way other than offering to sell me a used engine with 57,000 miles on it for $6000.
