| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: Premature clutch wear! add me to the list! it looks like i may be another one of the many people with clutch problems on their tiburon. i just bought my used 2004 tiburon 3 weeks ago. it had 27,000 miles on it at the time of purchase. i recently had a problem starting the car so i brought it into the dealer. they inspected the car and told me that the clutch was worn and was catching high. they estimate it is over 60% worn at this point but can't tell for sure until they tear it down. now i have driven clutch for many years. my last car was a 98 jetta with 93,000 miles on it and the original clutch with no slippage. before that i had a 91 nissan 240sx with well over 130,000 miles and the original clutch. it is unacceptable for the clutch to fail with such low mileage. on top of this, there are hundreds of complaints on various message boards about this issue. something needs to be done. it is obvious that there is a mechanical problem going on. it simply can not be the drives fault if so many of these cases have been reported. i am really hoping that my clutch lasts for awhile, but i feel as if i got myself into a bad situation buying this car. i really hope this situation is remedied because i do like the car but i simply can't go through the cost of replacing my clutch every year or two and shouldn't have to! i've read that there is a class action lawsuit pending. hopefully between this lawsuit and the nhtsa, a resolution to this problem is reached. this is an unfair and potentially dangerous situation for the american consumer that needs to be resolved soon! *nm |
