My connecting rod blew out of my engine I have a Hyundai Accent 2019, I have 65000 miles in the vehicle and have done some research as well and have seen that Hyundai vehicles for at least almost 10 years have had similar problems with their engines at around the same mileage. Maybe it’s possible that it was the same problem with my vehicle.

PULLING TO THE LEFT, AND ON THE FREEWAY AT FREEWAY SPEEDS, I HAVE TO MAINTAIN CONSTANT PRESSURE TO KEEP THE CAR TRACKING STRAIGHT. LES SCHWAB CHECKED THE ALIGNMENT AND SAID IT WAS IN FACTORY SPECIFICATIONS. THEY SWAPPED THE RIGHT AND LEFT FRONT TIRES, AND IT STILL PULLS TO THE LEFT. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. MY CAR HAS 19, 000 MILES ON IT AND IS STILL UNDER FACTORY WARRANTY. THIS IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM.

How to use these: a complaint is one owner’s report, filed voluntarily and published unverified. Patterns matter more than any single story. If several owners describe the same failure at similar mileage, put that system at the top of your pre-purchase inspection list. Back to the full 2019 Hyundai Accent verdict →
