Description of the problem	While on a trip to arizona driving about 70 mph on a highway in new mexico. The engine and car jerked really hard and the engine started knocking at around 77,500 miles. It ended up being a spun connecting rod bearing. Hyundai is replacing the engines on the santa fe and sonata but not the tucson. I was running synthetic oil and a mobile 1 filter at the time. After going online it seems as if they didn't clean the oil passages in the crank shaft when they assembled the engine. The tucson should be part of the engine replacement program. 2. 0 & 2. 4 engines have this issue.
