THE FAILURE IS NOT FROM "NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR". THERE ARE DESIGN DEFECTS THAT DIRECTLY LEAD TO THIS (AND MANY OTHER) PREMATURE FAILURES. I HAVE BEEN QUOTED $2100 IN REPAIRS (CLUTCH, PRESSURE PLATE, THROW-OUT BEARING, AND FLYWHEEL + LABOR) BY THE DEALER. I AM LOOKING INTO ALTERNATIVE SOLUTIONS--INCLUDING TRADING MY CAR IN--AS I AM NOT CONFIDENT THE DEFECTS WILL BE CORRECTED. *TR

I CO-OWN THIS CAR WITH MY DAUGHTER. THE AIR BAG LIGHT CAME ON AND WOULD NOT GO OFF. THIS CAUSED HER TO FAIL INSPECTION IN VIRGINIA. WE FOUND OUT ABOUT SAFETY RECALL 02V290000 WHICH SPECIFIED THAT ON 2003 TIBURONS THE DRIVER SEAT BELT BUCKLE COULD BE DAMAGED BY THE HEIGHT ADJUSTER MECHANISM, RESULTING IN FAILURE OF THE AIR BAG OR THE PERMANENT LIGHTING OF THE AIR BAG LIGHT WITH FAILURE TO DEPLOY ON IMPACT. THE DEALER REFUSED TO FIX IT BECAUSE HYUNDAI CLAIMS THE PROBLEM WAS FIXED BY MARCH 2003 AND WILL NOT AGREE TO FIX CARS MANUFACTURED AFTERWARD. MY DAUGHTER'S CAR WAS PRODUCED IN MAY 2003, MAKING THE WINDOW BETWEEN ELIGIBILITY AND NON-ELIGIBILITY ONLY 32 DAYS FROM MARCH 31 TO MAY 1. WE HAVE SPENT HOURS TRYING TO GET THIS PROBLEM FIXED. HYUNDAI CANNOT EXPLAIN WHY, IF THE PROBLEM WAS FIXED AS OF MARCH 2003, THERE ARE CARS SUFFERING FROM THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM AND MANUFACTURED LESS THAN TWO MONTHS LATER. I AM STILL WORKING TO GET THEM TO UNDERWRITE REPAIRS. MEANWHILE, MY DAUGHTER IS DRIVING A POTENTIALLY UNSAFE CAR, WE'VE SPENT HOURS GOING TO DEALERSHIPS TO GET THEM TO LOOK AT IT AND ARGUING ON THE PHONE WITH HYUNDAI AND ITS DEALERS, AND WE HAVE BOTH LOST A LOT OF TIME FROM WORK AND SUFFERED GREAT AGGRAVATION. *TR

AIR BAG LIGHT CAME ON ON THE DASH OF MY 2003 HYUNDAI TIBURON BECAUSE OF A BROKEN WIRE UNDER THE DRIVERS SEAT. HYUNDAI HAS HAD RECALLS ON OTHER VEHICLES FOR THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THE WIRE GETTING BROKEN UNDER THE DRIVER SEAT. THEY HAVE FIXED THE PROBLEM UNDER A RECALL TO INCLUDE PUTTING A PLASTIC COVER OVER THE WIRES TO PROTECT THEM. THEY TOLD ME THAT THERE IS NOT A RECALL FOR THAT PROBLEM ON MY VIN NUMBER VEHICLE, SAME PROBLEM. THE DEALER SAID IT IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE. THIS COULD CAUSE THE AIR BAG NOT TO DEPLOY IN AN ACCIDENT. THEY SAID THAT THERE WAS DEBRI UNDER THE SEAT THAT CAUSED THE BREAK. THE ONLY THING UNDER THE SEAT WAS A SMALL COLLAPSED UMBRELLA THAT WAS ON THE BACK SEAT FLOOR. I BELIEVE THAT THERE HAS NOT BEEN A RECALL FOR THIS VEHICLE BECAUSE NOT ENOUGH PEOPLE HAVE COMPLAINED. THIS IS A SAFETY PROBLEM WITH THE WAY HYUNDAI RUNS THE WIRES UNDER THE SEAT. *TR
