Consumer Description

The connecting rod bearing in cylinder 1 is bad and I noticed online alot of other models were listed with the same problem but not my model. My engine block needs to be replaced. Car has not been inspected by hyundai but just a licensed local mechanic because the dealerships said it would be months before they can look at it.
