Description of the problem	My vehicle began making a clanking noise from the front of the car while i was driving, i pulled over to check what the noise was, when i stopped the vehicle i looked underneath and saw a fluid coming out, i was able to drive the car home but the clanking was still going then as i tried to go a little faster around 30mph the engine light came on, i pulled into my complex and the car completely died, i waited a few minutes and started the car up again no lights came on but there was still clanking coming from the front. Next morning i drove it up the street to my mechanic the car did the same thing but this time the engine light came on and the oil light was flickering, and as i pulled into the mechanic shop the car died while i was in mid turn. They told me there was a small oil leak but needed to open the engine to find out more. There was a recall on my vehicle so i took it to the hyundai dealer to see if that was the cause they told me it was not, as i did research i found that hyundai has two different cars with the same type of issue with the engine. Hyundai finally came with a diagnostic that it was my spun bearing that was the issue with the engine, which is the exact issue as the two other cars the sonata and santa fe from hyundai with a recall. I have reached out to hyundai manufacturing to inform them of the issue, they told me that the hyundai dealer who did the diagnostic does not have to report these findings if they do not want to. I have seen complaints with my type of vehicle on the internet on carcomplaints. Com along with other forums online with this same exact issue on the hyundai tucson 2012.
