I have owned the vehicle for 10 months and it had about 80,000 miles on it. The engine light started flashing 2 days ago. The vehicle started running rough, so I drove 10 miles back home at no more than 40 mph. I took the vehicle to my trusted mechanic. He conducted a diagnostic test & received a code 1326, which meant there was a vibration indicating excessive connecting rod bearing wear. He advised me this is a common issue with this 2.4 liter engine. I had the vehicle towed to the dealer. While at the dealer, a mechanic came in with a 2013 Hyundai Sonata. We started speaking and found out the Sonata he brought in was having the same issue and is also a 2.4 litre four cylinder engine, which produced a 1326 code during a diagnostic test.

5 year old tucson with only 75,000 miles experiencing rod knock and requiring an entire engine replacement. I have not had a single issue with this car and have kept up on regular maintenance. The dealership says that I do not qualify for the power train warranty becuse I am the second owner. After much research I see this is a recurrent problem with hyundai tucson's as well other models in their line up. No recall or solution to the problem has been brought forward. My car started knocking while on a major highway with cars going 75mph. I luckily got it off an exit and did not cause an accident involving the cars behind me.
