CLUTCH FAILS TO DISENGAGE. THIS IS MOST DANGEROUS WHEN VEHICLE IS PARKED IN GEAR(AS WHEN PARKED ON A HILL WITH THE REAR OF THE FRONT WHEELS TURNED TO CURB, AND AN ATTEMPT IS MADE TO START VEHICLE BY PUSHING CLUTCH PEDAL DOWN AND ACTIVATING IGNITION, THE VEHICLE MAY START WITH CLUTCH ENGAGED, AND PROPEL THE VEHICLE INTO STREET AND INTO TH E LANE WHERE TRAFFIC IS APPROACHING FROM BEHIND, AND THEREFORE OUT OF SIGHT. OTHER DANGEROUS SITUATIONS ARE ATTEMPTS ARE MADE TO START VEHICLE ARE MADE IN CROWDED PARKING LOTS WHERE PEDESTRIANS MIGHT BE WALKING BEHIND CAR, AND VEHICLE IS PROPELLED REARWARD. ADDITIONALLY, IF ATTEMPTS ARE MADE TO STOP QUICKLY AS WHEN A CAR PU;LLS OUT IN FRONT OF YOU AS IN AN INTERSECTION, THE CLUTCH MIGHT NOT DISENGAGE, AND THE INERTIAL POWER OF THE ENGINE MIGHT OVERPOWER THE BRAKES, AND VEHICLE WILL CONTINUE FORWARD UNTIL ENGINE POWER IS OVERCOME BY BRAKE POWER INCIDENT EACH OF THESE SITUATIONS HAS HAPPENED TO ME, BUT I HAVE MANAGED, SO FAR, TO AVOID THE SUGGESTED RESULTS.

MY TIBURON WAS FINE A FEW DAYS AGO BUT RECENTLY STARTED GIVING ME PROBLEMS WHEN SHIFTING GEARS WHILE THE CAR IS IN MOTION OR SHIFTING INTO REVERSE WHILE THE CAR IS STOPPED. I DID SOME RESEARCH AND FOUND THAT THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE WITH THESE CARS AND THAT IT SEEMS TO BE A FAULTY MODEL OF CLUTCH. ACCORDING TO MY RESEARCH THIS IS SOMETHING THAT IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND HAS NOT YET BEEN BROUGHT UP BY HYUNDAI FOR A FACTORY RECALL

I BOUGHT THE CAR AND LOOKED AT THE VEHICLE REPAIR RECORDS AND THE CLUTCH HAD BEEN REPLACED ABOUT 12000 MILES AGO AND I CAN PUSH THE CLUTCH IN AND IT IS SLIPPING HORRIBLE, I CAN PUSH THE CLUTCH ALL THE WAY DOWN AND IT WILL SLIP AND GRIND EVERY GEAR AS IF I'M TRYING TO SHIFT WITHOUT THE CLUTCH. I EVEN STOPPED DOWNSHIFTING BECAUSE IT WOULDN'T GO INTO GEAR WITHOUT HORRIBLY GRINDING! I GET SO WORRIED ABOUT IT SOMETIMES, THAT I ALMOST WRECK TRYING TO KEEP MY CAR IN GEAR WITHOUT BREAKING THE TRANS, IT IS LIKE LEARNING HOW TO DRIVE A MANUAL CAR AGAIN AND I HAVE DRIVEN ONE FOR A LONG TIME NOW. *TR

I'M FROM ARKANSAS CITY KANSAS. I WAS DRIVING IN WICHITA KS ON MY WAY BACK HOME. I WAS DRIVING ABOUT 55MPH. WHEN I ENGAGED MY CLUTCHED TO GO INTO THE NEXT GEAR NOTHING HAPPENED. THE TRANSMISSION SEEMED TO GO INTO GEAR BUT THE CAR WOULDN'T MOVE. I SLOWED DOWN AND STOPPED ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. I PUT IT INTO FIRST GEAR AND TRIED TO DRIVE. THE CAR MOVED NOWHERE. I WASN'T SURE WHAT HAPPENED SO I TOWED IT BACK HOME. I LOOKED ONLINE EVERYWHERE TO FIND NOTHING THAT RELATED TO MY PROBLEM. MY CAR STILL WONT MOVE AND I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT IS WRONG WITH IT. *TR
