TIRES
WAS DRIVING EAST ON I-70 CAR STARTED SHAKING AND HEARD A LOW ROAR. THOUGHT IT WAS THE ROAD. I GOT OFF EXIT 124 I BELIEVE AND CHECKED TIRES. ALL LOOKED NORMAL.. CHECKED TIRED PRESSURES ALL WAS 32 OR 34 PSI. I THOUGH MAYBE IT WAS THE ROAD SO I CONTINUED TO EXIT 126EAST ON I 70 GOT OFF EXIT BECAUSE I HEARD THE SAME NOISE. I THEN DROVE THE CAR AROUND THE TRUCKSTOP AND LISTENED TO THE TIRES.. REAR PASSENGER WAS MAKING A HORRIBLE NOISE SO I DECIDED TO TURN BACK AROUND AND COME BACK HOME EVEN THOUGH THE TIRES LOOKED FINE. I PULLED OUT OF THE TRUCK STOP AND OVER THE BRIDGE TO GO WEST ON I-70 HEADING ABOUT 20MPH AND HEARD A LOUD POP. THE TIRE BLEW OUT.. CONTINUED OVER THE BRIDGE TO THE PILOT TRUCK STOP AND NOTICED THERE WAS STILL AIR IN THE TIRE.. I PROCEEDED TO TAKE THE TIRE OFF AND FOUND THAT THE INSIDE OF THE TIRE SPLIT AT THE SEAM. THESE TIRES ARE DANGEROUS!!! THE ENTIRE SIDE BLEW OUT.. BUT THERE IS STILL AIR IN THEM.. FIRESTONE SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED TO MAKE TIRES ANYMORE.. IF I WOULD HAVE BEEN GOING 65MPH I WOULD PROBABLY BE DEAD. FIRESTONE 215/45R17 POTENZA. *TR

POWER TRAIN
I OWN A 2006 HYUNDAI TIBERON BOUGHT IT BRAND NEW IT HAS 22,000 MILES ON IT AND THE CLUTCH AND FLYWHEEL ARE SHOT. I'VE BEEN DRIVING STANDARD FOR 13 YEARS AND HAVE NEVER HAD A PROBLEM WITH A CLUTCH. I'M VERY DISAPPOINTED IN HYUNDAI FOR NOT REPLACING A BUMPER TO BUMPER WARRANTY WHICH I HAVE. A CAR THAT I'VE HAD FOR 2 YEARS SHOULDN'T HAVE 2300 DOLLARS OF WORK AND IF IT DOES IT SHOULD BE UNDER WARRANTY. AND I AM SHOCKED TO SEE THE NUMBER OF HYUNDAI'S WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. HOPEFULLY SOMETHING IS DONE ABOUT THIS MATTER . *TR

HELLO, I'M 26YRS OLD. I OWN A 2003 TIBURON GT V6 6SPEED WITH LESS THAN 80,000 MILES. I BOUGHT IT OFF OF THE ORIGINAL OWNER WITH ONLY 9,000 MILES. WITHIN THE 70,000 MILES I'VE DRIVEN IT, IT'S HAD THREE CLUTCHES.? I'VE OWNED ALL MANUAL DRIVEN CARS SINCE I WAS 16, I LEARNED HOW TO DRIVE WITH ONE. WE ALL KNOW I BURNED THAT CLUTCH UP A LITTLE BIT YET I STILL DIDN'T BURN THAT CLUTCH OUT. THE FIRST CLUTCH I HAD TO REPLACE I PAID FOR THE PARTS. HYUNDAI TOOK CARE OF THE LABOR WHICH WAS NICE BUT, I STILL HAD TO PAY FOR A PART THAT I WASN'T AT FAULT FOR RUINING. NOW I'M ON MY THIRD CLUTCH, I HAD TO PAY FOR THIS ONE IN FULL BECAUSE I'M THE SECOND OWNER AND HYUNDAI ONLY COVERS 60,000 MILES. AS OF 01\06\09 THIS ONE IS NO LONGER WORKING. THERE HAS TO BE A MANUFACTURES DEFECT OF SOME KIND. WHETHER IT IS THE HYDRAULIC LINES PUMPING TOO MUCH OR NOT ENOUGH FLUID, THE REVERSE DUAL MASS CLUTCH, OR IT BEING THE FIRST YEAR THEY MADE THE CAR, AND THIS WAS ONE OF THE PROBLEMS HYUNDAI HAD TO TAKE CARE OF. I NEED HELP PLEASE. I'VE READ MORE REVIEWS ON "2003" TIBURON'S THAN I CAN HANDLE TO READ, AND AT LEAST 90% SAID THEY HAD CLUTCH PROBLEMS. I STARTED LOOKING FOR A SOLUTION AND THE ONLY THING I COULD FIND WAS CONSUMER AFFAIRS #, E-MAIL, AND A FEW OTHER #'S. I CALLED THE CONSUMER AFFAIRS #, AND NOW THEY TOLD ME THEY CAN'T HELP GO FIGURE. THEIR REASON WAS IT BEING TO FAR OUT OF WARRANTY ALTHOUGH IT WAS AT ONLY 31,000 MILES. NOW AT 77,000 IT GOES AGAIN, WHAT A COINCIDENCE. THIS DISASTER OF A CAR HAS COST ME AROUND $4,000 AND HAS ALSO PUT A HALT ON MY LIFE. I HAD A JEEP PAYMENT THAT I HAD TO SURRENDER BACK TO THE BANK BECAUSE I COULD NO LONGER PAY FOR REPAIRS ON THE TIBURON AND MY JEEP. I'M WRITING THIS IN HOPE THAT THERE IS SOME KIND OF GOOD WILL, RECALL, ECT. TO HELP REIMBURSE MY LOSES. THANK YOU IN ADVANCE *TR

POWER TRAIN:MANUAL TRANSMISSION
MY 2007 HYUNDAI TIBURON CLUTCH IS GOING OUT ONE WAY OR THE OTHER. I READ MANY OF FORUMS STATING HYUNDAI IS NOT TAKING THE COST. ALL OF THESE FORUMS STATE THAT THE OWNERS CLUTCHES ARE GOING OUT PRE-MATURELY AND HYUNDAY STATES THAT ITS THE OWNERS DRIVING HABITS. IF YOU LOOK AT ALL THE RESPONSES YOU WILL SEE THAT THERE IS WAY TO MANY "BAD HABIT DRIVERS" I HAVE NOT YET TAKEN MY CAR IN BUT I FEEL I KNOW WHAT IS GOING TO BE SAID. I WILL BE BACK WHEN I KNOW MORE. WHEN I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AT ABOUT 55 THE CAR MADE ALOUD SCREECHING SOUND AND THEN WOULD NOT MOVE ANYMORE. AFTER MESSING WITH THE CLUTCH AND ATTEMPTING TO SHIFT THE CAR FINALLY STARTED TO MOVE BUT AT A VERY SLOW PACE. I WAS IN FEAR OF BEING REAR ENDED AS I WAS ON THE HIGH WAY. *TR

TIRES, TIRES:SIDEWALL
BOUGHT BF GOODRICH TIRES FROM WALMART. 195/55R 84V TRACT TIRES IN JUNE 2006. ABOUT 5 DAYS AGO I WAS CHECKING MY TIRE PRESSURE AND FOUND A LARGE BLISTER/BUBBLE ON THE SIDE OF THE TIRE WALL. APPROXIMATELY 3 1/2 INCHES LONG OBLONG AND ABOUT 3 INCHES WIDTH. I TOOK MY CAR TO WALMART IN RAVENNA OHIO 44266 WHERE I BOUGHT THE TIRES. THEY MEASURED THE TIRE WIDTH AND CHECKED THE CAR MILES AND SAID THEY WOULD ORDER NEW TIRES. I ALSO ONLY GOT 24000 MILES ON THE TIRE AND THEY ARE 60,000 MILE TIRES. AT FIRST THE GIRL TOLD ME I WOULD HAVE TO PAY HALF THE COST OF THE ORIGINAL TIRE TO REPLACE THEM. SHE ALSO TOLD ME TO CALL BACK IN AN HOUR OR SO WHEN HER MANAGER CAME BACK FROM LUNCH, BECAUSE SHE WASN'T ABLE TO INPUT THE INFORMATION FOR ORDERING, THAT SHE DIDN'T KNOW HOW TO DO IT. WHEN I CALLED BACK SHE MADE ALL KINDS OF EXCUSES. WE CANT ORDER THEM BECAUSE THE MANAGER DIDN'T SEE THE CAR AND HE HAS TO CHECK THE MILES AND TREAD DEPTH. I SAID I HAVE A PRINT OUT OF THAT AND YOU ALREADY DID IT, THEN SHE SAID WELL WE MAY NOT BE PRORATING THE TIRES BECAUSE WE DON'T KNOW IF YOU KEPT UP ON THE MAINTENANCE OF THE TIRES. I SAID WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT. SHE SAID ROTATING THE TIRES AND KEEPING THEM IN ALIGNMENT. I HUNG UP ANGRY AND AM REPORTING THEM TO YOU. I HAVE A TIRE PROTECTION PLAN ALSO THAT I PURCHASED WHEN I BOUGHT THE TIRES. I SHOWED ALL THE PAPER WORK TO THE GIRL WHEN I BROUGHT THE CAR IN FOR THEM TO LOOK AT IT. THE MECHANIC IS THE ONE WHO CHECKED THE TIRE TREAD AND THE MILES PERSONALLY. *TR

TIRES
THESE ARE STANDARD TIRES FOR THE HYUNDAI TIBURON. ONE OF THE TIRES APPEARS TO BE DEFECTIVE AND LOSES PRESSURE. THE DEALERSHIP SAYS THEY CAN FIND NO LEAK AND ADDED NITROGEN TO THE TIRES. BUT STILL ONE TIRE LOSES MORE PRESSURE THAN THE OTHERS. THE DEALER WILL NOT REPLACE, AND DOESN'T SEEM TO THINK THIS SHOULD BE A PROBLEM. I HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLE IN FOUR TIMES FOR THIS PROBLEM. I CALLED THE HYUNDAI CUSTOMER SERVICE NUMBER. THEY SAY THE TIRE MANUFACTURER IS RESPONSIBLE - EVEN THOUGH THE TIRES WERE ON THE CAR I PURCHASED NEW FROM HYUNDAI. I PURCHASED A ROAD HAZARD POLICY AND AN EXTENDED WARRANTY. NEITHER OF THESE COVERS DEFECTIVE TIRES. I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE WITH THESE TIRES. *TR

R&R AND REPLACE TRANSAXLE WITH REMAN UNIT AND FLUSH COOLER.? THE TRANSMISSION STAYED IN 3RD GEAR. HYUNDAI REPLACED THE TRANSMISSION. 10/01/2004 THE TRANSMISSION SLIPPED AGAIN. I HAVE AN INVOICE THAT STATES THE *?LOCKING CLIP OFF OF RIGHT DRIVE AXLE ALLOWING FLUID TO LEAK OUT OF AXLE SEAL ? ORDERED LOCKING CLIP ? FILLED TRANSAXLE TO CORRECT LEVEL ? ADVISED CUSTOMER OF LEAK ? CUSTOMER TO BRING VEHICLE BACK FOR CLIP REPLACEMENT.? *THIS INDICATES THE CLIP WAS LEFT OFF THE LAST TIME THE TRANSMISSION WAS SERVICED BY THE DEALERSHIP ON 05/28/04, WHICH SUGGESTING NEGLIGENCE. 10/4/04 THE FOLLOWING COMMENTS WERE TAKEN FROM THE INVOICE: ?CUSTOMER STATES TRANSAXLE IS SLIPPING ?

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I RECENTLY PURCHASED A 2003 HYUNDAI TIBURON GT V6 IN APRIL OF 2008. THE CAR LOOKED LIKE IT WAS IN GREAT CONDITION AND DID NOT HAVE ANY MECHANICAL PROBLEMS. I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD ONE DAY WHEN I PUT ON MY TURN SIGNAL TO CHANGE LANES. AFTER I HAD CHANGED LANES I NOTICED THAT MY TURN SIGNAL WAS PERMANANTLY ON. UPON ENCOUNTERING THIS PROBLEM I TOOK MY CAR TO BOB KING HYUNDAI IN WINSTON-SALEM. THEY TOLD ME THAT IT WAS INTERNAL PROBLEMS WITH THE BCM AND THAT IT WOULD COST $1100 JUST FOR THE PART, PLUS LABOR. UPON FINDING OUT THIS TOTALLY ABSURD PROBLEM, I WENT ONTO THE INTERNET TO FIND OTHER WAYS TO FIX. MY DISCOVERIES WERE AMAZING. IT SEEMS THAT EVERY PERSON THAT HAS A 2003-05 HYUNDAI TIBURON HAS HAD THE SAME PROBLEM WHEN THE CARS HAVE REACHED 100,000 MILES OR MORE. THIS PROBLEM LEAVES YOU WITH OUT TURN SIGNALS AND DRIVING LIGHTS. IT CAN ALSO SPREAD AND EFFECT OTHER AREAS OF THE CAR, LIKE NOT LETTING THE WINDOWS ROLL DOWN, CAUSE THE KEYLESS ENTRY TO MALFUNCTIONS, AND CUTS OFF YOU HUD LIGHTS AS WELL. I BELIEVE THAT THIS IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM AND NEEDS TO BE HANDLE BY THE HYUNDAI MOTORS CO. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 HYUNDAI TIBURON. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER BECAUSE HE FELT THAT THERE WAS AN ISSUE WITH THE RPM'S. AFTER LEAVING THE VEHICLE AT THE DEALER FOR TWO DAYS, HE WAS INFORMED THAT THE RPM'S HAD BEEN REPLACED AND THAT THERE WAS AN ISSUE WITH THE CLUTCH IN THE VEHICLE. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE CLUTCH FAILURE WAS DUE TO WEAR AND TEAR; HOWEVER, THE CONTACT BELIEVES THAT IT SHOULD NOT BE BECAUSE THE VEHICLE WAS ONLY ONE YEAR OLD. THROUGH ONLINE RESEARCH, HE FOUND NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS FOR THE SAME FAILURE AS HIS YEAR, MAKE, AND MODEL VEHICLE. HE PRESENTED HIS FINDINGS TO THE DEALER AND WAS INFORMED THAT NOTHING COULD BE DONE. THE CONTACT CALLED THE MANUFACTURER AND WAS INFORMED THAT HE WOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE REPAIR COSTS. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 37,000.
