| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: On june 11, 2007 at 26,577 miles, i experienced on my way in to work while driving, a slight stick and a definite "click" sound from my clutch pedal. while at a traffic light i experienced complete clutch failure, the car would not go in to gear. the invoice from the dealership states "internal part on master clutch broken-remove and replace master clutch". on october 15, 2007, at 37,500 miles, there began a similar clutch pedal problem, later the rpms of the engine were increasing, however the gears were not engaging fully, another clutch failure in less than six months. after doing some research, i have found that there is not only a class action lawsuit against the hyundai corporation for a defective clutch in the 2003 hyundai tiburon.(us district court orange county, california; case number 06cc00052) i have also found quite a few complaints not only of the clutch, but the hyundai corporations refusal to honor it's own warranty with it's customers. it is in my opinion that this corporation lacks the integrity to monitor itself and i am asking the nhtsa to investigate this problem. *jb |
