Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: In december 2004 while driving my 2003 hyundai tiburon gt, the clutch went out and i was unable to shift properly in traffic, this incident almost cause a multi-car collection. i had to coast to the side of the road and turn off engine, shift into 1st gear then start the car. i called the hyundai dealership for help and they told me that the clutch warranty ran out at 12000 miles, i couldnt afford to pay their high costs so i bought a new clutch and had it fixed by a mechanic i could afford. it runs the same due to the flywheel and the warranty covers up to 50,000 miles --now the dealership is refusing to fix it because another mechanic worked on it. they knew this at the time i called the first time-----i just read the tsb #0440005 the procedure was not follled by them --it says clearly that the clutch and flywheel are deformed and need to be replace if the customer calls in about a clutch problem like i did --they never did--if they did i would never had got it fixed by another mechanic and bought the same factory clutch again that was deformed they never told me. help please . *ak |
