| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: My son craig bowman owns a 2003 hyundai tiburon that has 21,063 miles on it. he bought it when it had 10,000 miles. the clutch went out on it, and the dealer says it is not covered under the warranty. when this clutch goes out you have a hard time getting the vehicle into and out of gear. normally, when a clutch plate goes out you lose power due to slippage, but you can always disengage the transmission by depressing the clutch plate and relieving the tension of the pressure plate. this system seems to make it hard to disengage the system. i have been doing research, and have found that a great many of these cars experience the same problem with the same amount of miles. also, i have found that technical service bulletin tsb# 04-40-005 was issued that describes a clutch revision for 2003 tiburons with v6 engine and standard transmission built before april 1, 2003. to me this is an indication that there is a definite problem with this vehicle, and hyundai is doing nothing about it. please could you help address this issue. *ak |
