| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: I purchased the vehicle with 50000 miles on it. when i first purchased the vehicle i came into contact with a community of people with the same vehicle. the community is newtiburon.com. my vehicle is a 2003 hyundai tiburon gt v6 6 speed. there are literally hundreds of people with the same complaint as me. as soon as i received the car i still had 10000 miles of warranty. so i took the vehicle to roseville hyundai to explain that there original clutch for my vehicle was a defective product that they had a tsb out on for replacement. i attend wyoming technical institute(which is an automotive tech school) they told me that it wasn't covered under warranty even though it is a defective part that they even have a replacement part for. i believe they were just trying to avoid the $2000 repair for them. since i was so close to not being under warranty. i understand that a clutch is a wearable part, but when the company that produces a part and says themselves that there is a defective product on there vehicle and if any cars come in with this part it needs to be removed and replaced with the new part. the tsb number is tsb 04-40-005. the defective part number is 10/01/2001-02/24/2003....4110039140 the new part is 02/24/2003-present.......4110039145 now within this, if your car was manufactured before 02/01/03 you definitely have the defective part and you should get it replaced by the dealer. my car was manufactured on 01/13/03. the clutch and flywheel combo does not mate well together and causes premature clutch failure. whereas in my car my clutch slips at anything more that 1/4 throttle. *nm |
