Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: 1. bought a 2003 hyundai tiburon v6, 6-spd (manual transmission) -- event: no event. simply drove the car as normal. 2. less then 23,000 miles my clutch gave out. 3. i had to replace the clutch assembly, flywheel and throwout bearing. parts and labor cost me over $1500 in repairs. less the 23k miles and i had to pay over $1500 for transmission repair. this is a common problem that owners of this year, make and model are experiencing. yet, hyundai refuses to do anything about it except force their customers to commit to a very expensive car repair early in the life of the vehicle. no car under normal wear and tear should have as much work done as myself and many others have had to deal with. this needs to be set up as a recall by hyundai and those of us hammered by this should be reimbursed. *nm
