| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: My 2004 hyundai gt clutch went at 39,000 miles. i am not an aggressive driver and i have driven manual transmission cars for 10 years never having had a clutch problem before. this is not covered by warranty. it is clear to me that this clutch is a defect. i am a mechanic and this clutch did not fail like they typically do there was no slipping or indication of a wear issue before it failed. just a rattling sound from what seemed to be the throw out bearing that started about 5 days before the failure. then in the middle of a 6 hour drive there was a cluck when i shifted followed by a hard shift and then no power transfer at all. this left me in a bind i was stranded for 3 hours 4 hours from home so i had to have it towed to a dealer where they gave me an estimate of 1200 dollars for parts and labor only to find out when they got it apart that the flywheel had also been damaged and the new price would be 2100 dollars. for this kind of damage to occur in this little time i would have had to been really hot rodding it, and that's not me. i am a very competent driver. i have seen other complaints bout this issue and this is a problem that hyundai should address with at least full reimbursement of parts total because the part is defective. *jb |
