POWER TRAIN:CLUTCH ASSEMBLY
BEGAN HAVING TROUBLE SHIFTING FROM ANY GEAR TO ANY OTHER GEAR WITHOUT "DOUBLE CLUTCHING." TOOK VEHICLE TO DEALERSHIP WHERE IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE CLUTCH WAS BAD. FOLLOWING THE ADVICE OF THE DEALERSHIP I ORDERED AN AFTERMARKET CLUTCH AND AN AFTERMARKET FLYWHEEL. THE DEALER RECOMMENDED DOING THIS BECAUSE OF DURABILITY ISSUES WITH THE STOCK SETUP. ONCE THE DEALER BEGAN THE REPLACEMENT OF THE CLUTCH AND FLYWHEEL ITSELF THEY THEN DETERMINED THAT THE ENTIRE TRANSMISSION (6 SPEED) NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. ACCORDING TO THE DEALERSHIP, THE HYUNDAI REGIONAL REP. WANTED TO GO AGAINST A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN AND SIMPLY FIX THE PROBLEM WITH THE TRANS ITSELF. THE DEALER ACTUALLY HAD TO FIGHT WITH THE REP TO FOLLOW HYUNDAI'S OWN TSB. THE DEALERSHIP ITSELF WAS GREAT AND DEFIANTLY HONEST ABOUT THE CLUTCH PROBLEMS ON THE 03 TIB V6 6SP, BUT I STILL FEEL THAT HYUNDAI NEEDS TO OWN UP TO THE ISSUE AND REIMBURSE PEOPLE FOR AFTERMARKET CLUTCHES BECAUSE THE STOCK SYSTEM IS NOT BUILT TO HANDLE THE KIND OF STRESSES THAT THE ENGINE EXERTS ON IT. I HAVE ONLY OWNED MANUEL TRANS CARS AND DRIVE MAINLY HIGHWAY MILES. I HAVE NEVER HAD TO REPLACE A CLUTCH BEFORE 130,000 MILES... MY TIBURON'S REQUIRED CLUTCH, FLYWHEEL AND TRANS REPLACEMENT AT ABOUT 40,000 MILES... EVEN THOUGH THE TRANS ITSELF WAS COVERED BY WARRANTY, IT STILL COST OVER $1000 FOR PARTS AND LABOR TO THE CLUTCH ITSELF (FAR CHEAPER THAN THE $2000 OR SO IT COSTS TO BUY THE STOCK SETUP). HAVING A CLUTCH AND TRANS GO AT 40,000 MILES IS UNACCEPTABLE, KNOWING THAT THIS IS NOT UNUSUAL FOR THE TIBBY ONLY MAKES THE ISSUE MORE UNACCEPTABLE. *JB

POWER TRAIN:CLUTCH ASSEMBLY
THE CLUTCH STARTED SLIPPING WITH ONLY 16,500 MILES ON IT. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER IN JANUARY 2006 TO HAVE THE CLUTCH REPLACED. THEY TOLD ME I WAS AT FAULT DUE TO MY DRIVING HABITS. THEY OFFERED ME A DISCOUNT ON THE PARTS. THE DEALER WAS GOING TO USE EXACT REPLACEMENT PARTS BUT FROM WHAT I FOUND OUT ABOUT THE CLUTCH I PROVIDED ON MY OWN AFTER MARKET PARTS THAT COST $ 478.56 DOLLARS AND THE DEALER CHARGED $870.00 FOR LABOR. *JB

POWER TRAIN:CLUTCH ASSEMBLY
PREMATURE CLUTCH WEAR! ADD ME TO THE LIST! IT LOOKS LIKE I MAY BE ANOTHER ONE OF THE MANY PEOPLE WITH CLUTCH PROBLEMS ON THEIR TIBURON. I JUST BOUGHT MY USED 2004 TIBURON 3 WEEKS AGO. IT HAD 27,000 MILES ON IT AT THE TIME OF PURCHASE. I RECENTLY HAD A PROBLEM STARTING THE CAR SO I BROUGHT IT INTO THE DEALER. THEY INSPECTED THE CAR AND TOLD ME THAT THE CLUTCH WAS WORN AND WAS CATCHING HIGH. THEY ESTIMATE IT IS OVER 60% WORN AT THIS POINT BUT CAN'T TELL FOR SURE UNTIL THEY TEAR IT DOWN. NOW I HAVE DRIVEN CLUTCH FOR MANY YEARS. MY LAST CAR WAS A 98 JETTA WITH 93,000 MILES ON IT AND THE ORIGINAL CLUTCH WITH NO SLIPPAGE. BEFORE THAT I HAD A 91 NISSAN 240SX WITH WELL OVER 130,000 MILES AND THE ORIGINAL CLUTCH. IT IS UNACCEPTABLE FOR THE CLUTCH TO FAIL WITH SUCH LOW MILEAGE. ON TOP OF THIS, THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS ON VARIOUS MESSAGE BOARDS ABOUT THIS ISSUE. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE. IT IS OBVIOUS THAT THERE IS A MECHANICAL PROBLEM GOING ON. IT SIMPLY CAN NOT BE THE DRIVES FAULT IF SO MANY OF THESE CASES HAVE BEEN REPORTED. I AM REALLY HOPING THAT MY CLUTCH LASTS FOR AWHILE, BUT I FEEL AS IF I GOT MYSELF INTO A BAD SITUATION BUYING THIS CAR. I REALLY HOPE THIS SITUATION IS REMEDIED BECAUSE I DO LIKE THE CAR BUT I SIMPLY CAN'T GO THROUGH THE COST OF REPLACING MY CLUTCH EVERY YEAR OR TWO AND SHOULDN'T HAVE TO! I'VE READ THAT THERE IS A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT PENDING. HOPEFULLY BETWEEN THIS LAWSUIT AND THE NHTSA, A RESOLUTION TO THIS PROBLEM IS REACHED. THIS IS AN UNFAIR AND POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS SITUATION FOR THE AMERICAN CONSUMER THAT NEEDS TO BE RESOLVED SOON! *NM

POWER TRAIN:CLUTCH ASSEMBLY
DROVE MY 2004 HYUNDAI TIBURON FOR 17K MILES AND 1 DAY AFTER DRIVING ABOUT 1 HR IN TRAFFIC I NOTICED MY CLUTCH WOULD NOT ENGAGE MY FIRST GEAR PROPERLY. I HAVE A 6 SPD. BROUGHT THE CAR TO HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP AND THEY TOLD ME THAT "I" HAD WORN OUT MY CLUTCH AND WANTED 2 CHARGE ME $1800.00 TO REPAIR IT. AFTER ARGUING AND CALLING CORPORATE HYUNDAI AND HAVING TO GO TO THE DEALERSHIP AND EXPLAIN TO THESE GUYS AND I KNOW HOW 2 DRIVE STANDARD THEY FINALLY REPLACED MY CLUTCH AS A "ONE TIME GOOD-WILL REPAIR" UNDER 1 CIRCUMSTANCE, THAT I WOULD PAY 4 THE 15K MILE SERVICE, WHICH AT $235.00 WAS BETTER THEN $1800.00. CAME ACROSS THE PROBLEMS THAT OTHER ARE HAVING AFTER SIGNING UP TO WWW.NEWTIBURON.COM AND FIGURED I WOULD FILE A COMPLAINT ALSO. THE THING IS THAT AFTER THEY REPAIRED IT WITH WHAT SEEMS TO BE THE REVISED CLUTCH NUMBER PER THE TSB, WHEN THE CAR IS COLD IT GRINDS GOING INTO TO 2ND GEAR. BROUGHT IT IN TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY GAVE ME MY CAR BACK STATING ON THE INVOICE THEY GAVE ME THAT THEY DROVE THE CAR FOR 16 MILES AND HAD EXPERIENCED NO GRINDING AND OR CLUTCH PROBLEMS. THAT'S ODD BECAUSE I HAVE BEEN SINCE I GOT THE CAR REPAIRED. I AM ON MY 2ND CLUTCH AFTER REPLACING MY FIRST AT 17K MILES AND I HAVE A FEELING THAT MY CLUTCH IS ON ITS WAY BECAUSE OF THE GRINDING. IM AT 42,700 MILES NOW AND I DON'T NO HOW MUCH LONGER IT WILL HOLD. *JB

I HAVE OWNED A 2004 HYUNDAI TIBURON SINCE JAN OF 2005, IT WAS PURCHASED BRAND NEW WITH 2 MILES ON IT. SINCE ABOUT 10K MILES, MY CLUTCH HAS BEEN SLIPPING, HYUNDAI REFUSES TO FIX IT UNDER THEIR WARRANTY, STATING IT IS A WEARABLE PART. I HAVE BEEN DRIVING MANUAL TRANSMISSION CARS FOR ALMOST 25 YEARS.. AND THIS IS THE FIRST CLUTCH I HAVE HAD GO OUT, LET ALONE AT SUCH LOW MILEAGE. *NM

POWER TRAIN:CLUTCH ASSEMBLY, POWER TRAIN:CLUTCH ASSEMBLY:PEDAL/HAND LEVER(MOTORCYCLE)
DEALER HAS BEEN GREAT. CORP REP=BAD. PURCHASED BRAND NEW ON DEC 31 02, AND DRIVEN 3400 MILES BEFORE CLUTCH RELATED PROBLEMS WERE FIRST INTRODUCED. I WAS TOLD IT WOULD BE REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY AND MADE AN APPOINTMENT A MONTH LATER. THAT WAS THE EARLIEST I COULD BRING IT IN AND BE LEFT WITHOUT A CAR FOR 3 DAYS. CAR HAD APPROXIMATELY 11,400 MILES ON THE ODOMETER. I BROUGHT THE CAR IN WITH THE DEALER THEN WARRANTED THE CLUTCH DISC, FLYWHEEL, PRESSURE PLATE AND THROW OUT BEARING, BUT REPLACED THEM WITH THE SAME PARTS AS BEFORE, WHICH WAS REALLY A TEMPORARY FIX TO THE GENERAL PROBLEM BEING DESIGN FAILURE, BEING THERE ARE NUMEROUS PART NUMBER CHANGES FROM 02-04. THAT NIGHT I CONTACTED THE DEALER AGAIN, AND REPORTED THAT THE ISSUE WAS STILL NOT FIXED, AND THERE WAS STILL NOT A SMOOTH ENGAGEMENT AND THAT THE CLUTCH WAS STILL JUDDERING. THE SERVICE SAID DRIVE THE CAR FOR 2 WEEKS AND MAKE SURE IT WASN'T ME NOT BEING USED TO THE NEW CLUTCH PUT IN THE CAR. I DROVE IT FOR 2 WEEKS, AND CALLED BACK ONLY TO BE DENIED WARRANTY FROM THE CORPORATE REPRESENTATIVE AT THE TIME(SHE IS NO LONGER THERE)(NOT BY THE DEALER) I HAVE NOW HAD JUDDER AND MILD RANDOM SLIPPAGE AND HAVE DEALT WITH THIS FOR THE PAST 70,000 MILES. I DID UNDER DEALERS ADVICE TAKE OUT A VALVE LOCATED IN THE SLAVE CYLINDER TO ALLOW MORE HYDRAULIC FLUID THROUGH AT ONE TIME IN ORDER TO ALLOW FOR BETTER ENGAGEMENT AND LESS WEAR TO THE CLUTCH. THE VALVE IS NOT IN THE CLUTCH SLAVE CYLINDER IN THE 04 AND NEW CARS. *JB

POWER TRAIN:CLUTCH ASSEMBLY:BELL HOUSING
I BOUGHT A 2003 TIBURON 6/15/05, FOR $14,000 8/27/05 STARTED MAKING GRINDING NOISES, SMOKING,SOUNDED LIKE ENGINE BLEW UP. TOWED TO ROMERO MOTORS, ONTARIO, CLOSEST HYUNDAI DEALER. I HAD ORIGINAL WARRANTY & EXTENDED WARRANTY. ROMERO MOTORS SAID REPLACE CLUTCH $1,400. I COULD NOT AFFORD IT & TOOK TO MY MECHANIC. OPENING ENGINE HOOD THERE WERE METAL SHAVINGS ALL OVER ENGINE, AND IT CUT TRANNY CASE IN HALF. I CALLED CLAREMONT FORD/MAZDA (PURCHASED CAR THERE)AND WAS INSTRUCTED TO BRING IT TO THEM. THEY TOWED IT TO ROMERO MOTORS. I CALLED CLAREMONT FORD/MAZDA AND WAS ADVISED TO CALL ROMERO MOTORS. AGAIN, I WAS TOLD BY ROMERO MOTORS IT WAS CLUTCH WEAR N TEAR ITEM & CLUTCH TOOK OUT TRANSMISSION/NO COVERAGE UNDER WARRANTY. NEW ESTIMATE $3,400.00, AND TO MY HORROR CHARGED $818 TEAR DOWN FEE TO PUT CAR BACK TOGETHER. I AGAIN TOOK IT TO MY MECHANIC, PURCHASED $920 IN PARTS TO FIX PROBLEM PAID MY MECHANIC TO FIX. 100% HYUNDAI PARTS. IT RAN A WEEK AND GEARS WENT OUT, THIS TIME I TOOK IT TO A DIFFERENT DEALERSHIP, GLENDORA HYUNDAI, WHERE I HAD BOUGHT PARTS THEY GAVE ME ESTIMATE OF $2,700 GEAR SHIFT INSTALLED BACKWARDS TEARING UP TRANSMISSION AGAIN. I HAVE KNOWN THIS MECHANIC FOR 24 YEARS AND HE TOLD ME HE PUT THE SHIFTER IN EXACTLY THE WAY HE TOOK IT OUT. GLENDORA HYUNDAI SAID THAT THEY RECEIVED NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ABOUT ROMERO MOTORS ALL THE TIME, THAT ROMERO'S MECHANICS HAD PROBABLY JUST THROWN MY CAR BACK TOGETHER, NOT BOTHERING TO PUT EVERYTHING WHERE IT BELONGED, BROKEN PARTS WERE LEFT ON FRONT SEAT. SO IT WAS VERY POSSIBLE THAT THE GEARSHIFT WAS IN BACKWARDS. THIS CAR COST ME $4,700, WAS DOWN FROM 8/27/05 UNTIL ONE WEEK AGO. I HAVE PICTURES OF THE CLUTCH AND TRANNY CASE SHOWING DAMAGE, CLOSE TO SAWING INTO PASSENGER COMPARTMENT. I FILED A COMPLAINT WITH THE BAR AND THEY CITED ROMERO MOTORS. MY LIFE HAS BEEN ONE BIG NIGHTMARE SINCE 8/27, NOW I'M FINDING OUT THIS IS HYDRAULIC PROBLEM AND WILL HAPPEN EVERY 5,000 TO 10,000 MILES. 8JB

POWER TRAIN:CLUTCH ASSEMBLY
OWNED MY 2003 HYUNDAI TIBURON FOR ABOUT 36 MONTHS. DURING THAT TIME I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE THE CLUTCH AND FLYWHEEL TWICE. THIS IS RIDICULOUS. I HAVE BEEN DRIVING MANUAL TRANSMISSIONS SINCE 1967 AND HAVE NEVER BURNT A CLUTCH. AND I AM NOT ALONE. THERE ARE HUNDREDS AND HUNDREDS OF DOCUMENTED CASES ON THE NET AND PERHAPS EVEN THOUSANDS. EACH REPAIR COSTS $1500-$2000. THE FIRST REPAIR IN NOVEMBER 2004 COST ME $1800. BOTH FAILURES HAPPENED IN TRAFFIC AND BOTH TIMES HAD TO TAKE EVASIVE MANEUVER TO PREVENT AN ACCIDENT. THE LAST TIME I ENDED UP IN A HIGHWAY DITCH TO PREVENT A 40 FT TRAILER FROM RUNNING MY CAR OVER. SOMEBODY BETTER TAKE A LOOK AT THIS CAR BECAUSE IT DEFINITELY HAS CLUTCH / FLYWHEEL PROBLEMS PROBABLY CAUSE BY POORLY DESIGNED HYDRAULICS. THE WAY THE HYDRAULICS ARE DESIGNED CAUSES THE FLUID TO BE RESTRICTED IN ONE DIRECTION LEADING TO SMOOTHER SHIFTING, BUT IT IS THIS "SMOOTHER SHIFTING" (SLIPPING) THAT APPARENTLY IS CAUSING THE EXCESSIVE HEAT AND BURNING UP THE CLUTCHES AND FLYWHEELS. IS THERE SOMEONE OUT THERE IN GOVERNMENT THAT CARES ENOUGH TO ADDRESS THIS PROBLEM? CORPORATE GIANT HYUNDAI IS NOT STEPPING UP TO CORRECT THIS PROBLEM. AT THE RATE OF THESE FAILURES, HOWEVER, I'M DESTINED TO HAVE ANOTHER ONE. I AM REALLY "AFRAID" TO DRIVE IT. IS ANYONE GOING TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT THIS? OR ARE THEY GOING TO ALLOW CORPORATE GIANT HYUNDAI TO RIP OFF THE CITIZENS OF THIS COUNTRY? I WILL BE CONTACTING MY US SENATOR AND WILL BE CONTACTING THE HEADS OF THE SENATE COMMITTEES THAT OVERSEE THE NHTSA. I'VE NOTICED THAT COMPLAINTS HAVE BEEN FILED HERE FOR QUITE SOME TIME AND NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE, NOT EVEN AN INVESTIGATION. *** THERE IS ONLY SPACE IN THIS COMPLAINT FOR ONE FAILURE "DATE." MY FIRST FAILURE OCCURRED IN NOVEMBER 2004, AND THE SECOND FAILURE OCCURRED IN DECEMBER 2005 (REPAIRED IN MARCH 2006). WHY SO LONG IN REPAIRING? I REFUSED TO PAY FOR IT UNLESS HYUNDAI DID SOMETHING. I HAVE RECORDS OF ALL THE REPAIRS IF NEEDED. *NM

2004 HYUNDAI TIBURON. 5 SPEED MANUAL TRANSMISSION. CLUTCH BEGINNING TO FAIL/SLIP AT 27,000 MILES. 27,000 MILES FOR A CLUTCH IS NOTHING AS CLUTCHES HAVE BEEN KNOWN TO LAST AT LEAST 100,000 MILES. THIS IS A HAZARD, AS PREMATURE CLUTCH WEAR CAN RESULT IN AN ACCIDENT, PERHAPS A FATAL ONE. *JB

I HAVE A 2004 HYUNDAI TIBURON GT. I ONLY HAVE 33000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE, AND ALREADY HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE CLUTCH. I HAVE CHECKED MANY CHAT ROOMS AND FORUMS AND THERE ARE MANY OTHERS WITH THIS SAME VEHICLE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEMS. THIS IS A RECURRING ISSUE WITH MANY TIBURON OWNERS WITH RELATIVELY LOW MILES. I DO ALSO FEEL THAT THERE IS ALSO A SAFETY ISSUE AT RISK, BECAUSE THERE LIES THE POSSIBILITY THAT THE CLUTCH WERE TO COMPLETELY FAIL AND CAUSE THE TRANS. TO LOCK UP. SO SOME SORT OF NOTIFICATION TO HYUNDAI WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED. *JB

CLUTCH SLIPPED ON OCCASION - BEGAN TO EMIT ODOR WHEN DRIVING IN SLOW TRAFFIC (RUSH HOUR) CONDITIONS... SLIPPAGE GRADUALLY GOT WORSE TO THE POINT THE CAR BECAME UNRELIABLE. WENT TO DEALERSHIP - TECH DETERMINED CLUTCH & FLYWHEEL NEEDED TO BE REPLACED - GAVE ME A 1700 ESTIMATE AND SAID WARRANTY WOULDN'T TOUCH IT (RESULT OF OPERATOR ERROR). I WENT AHEAD AND ORDERED AN OEM CLUTCH FROM THE DEALER & AN AFTERMARKET FLYWHEEL (AND RENTED A CAR FOR 2 WEEKS WHILE I WAITED FOR MY PARTS TO ARRIVE) AND HAD MY OWN MECHANIC INSTALL MY PARTS. TOTAL COST OUT OF MY POCKET WAS 1400. TURNS OUT THE CLUTCH THE DEALER GAVE ME WAS NOT THE 'NEW' PART (TSB 04-40-005) AND NOW MY CLUTCH IS RATTLING AND HAS NOW BEGAN TO SHOW SIGNS OF FAILURE. *JB
