| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: Drove my 2004 hyundai tiburon for 17k miles and 1 day after driving about 1 hr in traffic i noticed my clutch would not engage my first gear properly. i have a 6 spd. brought the car to hyundai dealership and they told me that "i" had worn out my clutch and wanted 2 charge me $1800.00 to repair it. after arguing and calling corporate hyundai and having to go to the dealership and explain to these guys and i know how 2 drive standard they finally replaced my clutch as a "one time good-will repair" under 1 circumstance, that i would pay 4 the 15k mile service, which at $235.00 was better then $1800.00. came across the problems that other are having after signing up to www.newtiburon.com and figured i would file a complaint also. the thing is that after they repaired it with what seems to be the revised clutch number per the tsb, when the car is cold it grinds going into to 2nd gear. brought it in to the dealership and they gave me my car back stating on the invoice they gave me that they drove the car for 16 miles and had experienced no grinding and or clutch problems. that's odd because i have been since i got the car repaired. i am on my 2nd clutch after replacing my first at 17k miles and i have a feeling that my clutch is on its way because of the grinding. im at 42,700 miles now and i don't no how much longer it will hold. *jb |
