POWER TRAIN:CLUTCH ASSEMBLY, POWER TRAIN:MANUAL TRANSMISSION
I HAVE HAD MY CLUTCH AND TRANSMISSION REPAIRED SINCE 9-02. THEN I WAS TOLD ABOUT A DEFECTIVE PART IN THE TRANSMISSION, BUT IT WAS NO REPAIRED AT THE TIME. I WAS TOLD I COULD DRIVE THE VEHICLE, SO I BELIEVED THE SERVICE TECHNICIAN. IN 6-03, ONCE AGAIN I THE DEFECTIVE CLUTCH ASSEMBLY, FLYWHEEL, PRESSURE PLATE, CLUTCH PLATE AND THE THROW OUT BEARING WERE REPLACED, AND THE SUNROOF MOTOR WAS REPLACED FOR THE SECOND TIME. ON 10-03 SUNROOF WAS REPAIRED AGAIN. ON 5-04 THE SUNROOF WAS REPAIRED AGAIN. ON7-21-04 I ADVISED SERVICE DEPARTMENT MY GEARS WERE GETTING STUCK, BUT ALL THE SERVICEMAN DID WAS REMOVED STARTER AND TOLD THE REP IT WAS COVERED WITH CLUTCH DISC MATERIAL, THEREFORE IT WAS NOT COVERED BY MY POWERTRAIN WARRANTY. IT IS THE TRANSMISSION THAT WAS NOT FIXED ON 9-02 THAT WAS THE PROBLEM AND THEY REFUSE TO CHECK IT. I HAVE A 2003 TIBURON!!!*AK

POWER TRAIN:CLUTCH ASSEMBLY
CLUTCH SLIPS WHILE TRYING TO ACCELERATE TO ANY SPEED. WAS ENTERING HIGHWAY AND CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE ON RAMP ALMOST CAUSING A FATAL ACCIDENT. DEALERSHIP SAYS I RIDE THE CLUTCH AND WORE IT OUT. I HAVE OWNED SEVERAL MANUAL TRANSMISSION CARS IN THE PAST AND NEVER ONCE HAD A CLUTCH GO BAD. CAR ONLY HAS 29000 MILES ON IT. MECHANIC TOLD ME THAT EVEN WITH RIDING THE CLUTCH THERE IS NO WAY IT SHOULD GO OUT SO SOON. FAULTY CLUTCH ASSEMBLY??? I THINK SO. HYUNDAI NEEDS TO STEP UP TO THEIR RESPONSIBILITIES AND SEND A RECALL SO THAT ALL OF THESE "NEAR" ACCIDENTS DON'T TURN INTO FATALITIES. FATALITIES DUE TO FAULTY PARTS=LAWSUITS...LAWSUITS=MILLIONS. GET YOUR ACT TOGETHER HYUNDAI. *JB

POWER TRAIN:CLUTCH ASSEMBLY
I OWN A 2003 HYUNDAI TIBURON V6. IT HAS 22500 MILES AND THE CLUTCH HAS GONE OUT. WE TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALER AND THEY TOLD US 3 TIMES IT WOULD BE COVERED BY THE WARRANTY. AFTER HAVING THE CAR FOR 8 DAYS THEY CALLED TO SAY THAT THE PARTS WONT BE COVERED DUE TO "ABUSE". AFTER TALKING TO HYUNDAI THEY WILL NOT COVER ANY PART OF REPAIRING THIS. THIS CAR IS A DAILY DRIVER, NOT A RACE CAR! I BELIEVE HYDUNAI KNOWS THEIR CLUTCHS ARE BAD -- WE NEED A RECALL. *JB

CONSUMER COMPLAINED ABOUT ENGINE CHECK LIGHT CONSTANTLY COMING ON. HE TOOK VEHICLE TO DEALER SEVERAL TIMES, AND THE LIGHT KEPT COMING ON. CONSUMER WAS TOLD BY ONE DEALER THAT HE NEEDED TO HAVE ENGINE CLEANED OUT AND USE A DIFFERENT GAS. CONSUMER STATED THIS HE DID. AFTER A COUPLE OF DAYS THE LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN.
