| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: Bought a used 2003 hyundai tiburon with 18,484 miles on it. it has been driven responsibly for 10,000 miles and now gear oil combined with clutch dust is leaking from one of the gear box seals. the service technician at herb chambers hyundai on southbridge st. in auburn, ma says this will require a clutch and seal replacement with the likelihood of a flywheel replacement as well. for all of this, the estimated cost is $322 parts and $900 labor. i find this unacceptable from a car company known for its warranty and a safety hazard to owners experiencing this same issue. it is unheard of for this to happen so prematurely in a vehicle and may be ignored by other owners. *jb |
