Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: I am having severe issues with the manual clutch on my 2003 hyundai tiburon. my vehicle has only 23,000 miles and is experiencing severe clutch slippage. i had the clutch examined at 12,000 miles and was told that everything was fine. now hyundai is telling me that they believe that the clutch plate is "glazed" and will likely need to be replaced. hyundai stated that this is due to "normal wear and tear" and is not covered by the warranty. it is my understanding that almost all of the 2003 hyundai tiburon's have this same issues and many have had to be repaired several times and still experience clutch failure. *nm
