UPDATED 11/21/14*CN

THERE HAVE BEEN MULTIPLE EVENTS, THIS IS THE SECOND INCIDENT OF THIS MALFUNCTION THAT IT IS BEING TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP IN JASPER, ALABAMA. THE FIRST TIME I PRESENTED THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP TO BE DIAGNOSED THE TRANSMISSION WAS RESET AND IT RAN OK FOR A MONTH, IT WAS DURING THIS TRIP I WAS INFORMED THAT SINCE WE WERE THE SECOND OWNER OF THE VEHICLE THE WARRANTY OF 100,000 MILES WOULD NOT BE HONORED. AS I'VE RESEARCHED THIS PROBLEM IT SEEMS TO BE A COMMON OCCURRENCE. I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO BARE THE BRUNT OF A LARGE REPAIR BILL FOR A TRANSMISSION OR NEW COMPUTER BRAIN. SINCE HYUNDAI CLAIMS TO HAVE THE BEST WARRANTY IN AMERICA AS LONG AS YOU ARE THE FIRST OWNER. I DID NOT KNOW ABOUT THIS SITUATION UNTIL I READ THE SMALL PRINT. I WAS ALSO CONCERNED ABOUT THE THREE QUESTIONS THAT ARE ASKED IN SECTION TWO. IT MAKES ME THINK THAT SOMETHING WILL BE DONE ONLY IF SOMEONE IS INJURED OR KILLED! *TR

MY 2007 TIBURON NOW SITS INOPERATIVE NEEDING A REPLACEMENT CLUTCH AT 56,000 MILES. HYUNDAI IS NOT HONORING THEIR 100,000 MILE / 10 YEAR WARRANTY. THEIR RESPONSE IS LET US LOOK AT IT. IF YOU LOOK ON THE INTERNET, MOST PEOPLES' TIBURON'S BEGIN HAVING CLUTCH PROBLEMS EVEN EARLIER THAN MINE. PEOPLE ACROSS THE NATION (MANY, READ COMMENTS ONLINE BY TYPING IN TIBURON CLUTCH PROBLEM). PEOPLE ACROSS THE NATION ARE BEING TOLD THEY DO NOT KNOW HOW TO DRIVE A CLUTCH, AND ALSO MANY PEOPLE SAY AFTER REPLACING THE CLUTCH TO REMOVE THE CLUTCH SLAVE CYLINDER DELAY VALVE AND SPRING AND THE CLUTCH WILL OPERATE BETTER. MANY ONLINE AGREED WITH THAT. I HAVE E-MAILS THAT SHOW MY CONVERSATIONS WITH HYUNDAI IN WHICH HYUNDAI SAYS THEY WILL HONOR THE 1000,000 MILE / 10 YEAR WARRANTY IF THE CLUTCH APPEARS TO HAVE THE WEAR OF A 1 YEAR OLD CLUTCH. NOONE CAN POSSIBLY MEET THAT CONDITION, AND ONLINE YOU WILL SEE HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE TIBURON CLUTCHES FAILING EARLY, AND WITH THE EXCEPTION OF ONE PERSON THE DRIVER IS BLAMED.IF YOU GIVE ME AN E-MAIL ADDRESS I WILL SEND YOU ALL THERE E-MAILS TO PROVE WHAT I AM TELLING YOU. ARE YOU MY SALVATION, OR IS SMALL CLAIMS COURT THE ANSWER? WHAT DO I DO TO NOT HAVE THEM BLAME ME AND THEN "REPAIR" TO ORIGINAL SPECS WITH THE ORIGINAL CLUTCH TYPE, AS MANY PEOPLE ONLINE THAT DID THIS HAVE HAD A SECOND FAILURE ABOUT 20,000 TO 40,000 MILES LATER. THE CONFORMITY OF PEOPLES STORY CONCERNING HYUNDAIS RESPONSE TELLS ME IT IS A STANDARDIZED RESPONSE. I NEED THEM TO COVER FOR AN UPGRADED CLUTCH (THE AFTERMARKET CLUTCHES ARE SAID TO BE SUPERIOR) AND I NEED A REPAIR PERSON WHO WILL AGREE TO NOT REINSTALL THE CLUTCH SLAVE CYLINDER DELAY VALVE AND SPRING, WHICH HYUNDAI WILL PROBABLY NOT DO. WITH THIS REMAINING AS PART OF THE CLUTCH, ALL THE MECHANICS ONLINE SAID THE PROBLEM WILL REPEAT. *TR

I HIT A CEMENT BARRIER MY CAR FLIPPED I HIT THE STEERING WHEEL AND HIT MY HEAD MY AIR BAG DID NOT DEPLOY. I ALREADY HAD THE AIRBAG FIXED ONCE IN THIS CAR. I WAS WEARING MY SEAT BELT. I HAD JUST CALLED HYUNDAI TWO DAYS BEFORE TO TELL THEM I HAD READ NUMEROUS THINGS ON LINE WITH PROBLEMS WITH THE AIR BAG IN MY YEAR AND MAKE OF CAR. THEY TOLD ME IF I WANTED IT FIXED THEY WOULD CHARGE ME ANOTHER 100 DOLLARS. THEY KNEW OF THIS DEFECT AND NEVER TOLD ANYONE. THEY COULD HAVE PREVENTED SOME OF MY INJURIES. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 HYUNDAI TIBURON. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DRIVER'S SIDE SEAT BELT WOULD NOT SECURE WHEN ATTEMPTING TO UTILIZE THE SEAT BELT. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER, WHO STATED THAT THE SEAT BELT WAS FAULTY. THE FAILURE WAS REPORTED TO THE MANUFACTURER, WHO REFUSED TO PROVIDE ANY FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE FOR REPAIRS. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 34,000.

I BOUGHT THIS 2007 HYUNDAI TIBURON IN AUGUST OF 2010 WITH 39,400 MILES. I HAD TO REPLACE THE CLUTCH WITHIN 1,500 MILES. I HAVE NO IDEA IF THAT WAS THE FIRST REPLACEMENT OR NOT. AT 62,100 MILES I HAD TO REPLACE THE CLUTCH AND FLYWHEEL AGAIN AT A COST OF $1,866.00. I 'M 60 YEARS OLD AND HAVE DRIVEN A MANUAL TRANSMISSION FOR OVER 40 YEARS AND NEVER HAD A PROBLEM WITH A CLUTCH BEFORE. WITH ALL THE COMPLAINTS AGAINST HYUNDAI FOR THE FAILURE OF THIS PART IT IS HARD TO BELIEVE THEY DO NOT HAVE TO RECALL THIS MODEL AND REPLACE THESE FAULTY CLUTCHES AND FLYWHEELS. *TR

I LOVE MY LITTLE TIBERON. IT HAS BEEN THE ONLY NEW CAR I EVER HAD OR PROBABLY EVER WILL HAVE. I AM OVER 50 YEARS OLD AND BEEN DRIVING A MANUAL TRANSMISSION FOREVER. SO WHEN THIS CLUTCH STARTED TO ACT UP, I STARTED TO CALL IN TO THE DEALERS. I COULD NOT BELIEVE IT. NOTHING UNDER WARRANTY AND THEY WANTED OVER $2000 TO EVEN START LOOKING AT IT. THEN THEY TOLD ME THAT IF THE FLYWHEEL WAS DAMAGED IT WOULD BE OVER $900 FOR THE PART ALONE. I HAVE NEVER HEARD OF SUCH A THING! AND NONE OF IT WAS UNDER WARRANTY. NEEDLESS TO SAY I STARTED LOOKING AT TRADE IN AND BLUE BOOK VALUES. BUT I AM ATTACHED TO THIS CUTE LITTLE CAR THAT MY DYING HUSBAND LOVED TO TEASE ME ABOUT, SO I TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC I TRUSTED. RESULT: THE CLUTCH IS FINE, STILL SHOWS 50000 PROBABLY STILL AVAILABLE. VALVES AND CONNECTORS ARE FINE. FLYWHEEL IS UNSCRATCHED AND SMOOTH BUT TOTALLY BROKEN. I HAVE THE PART. I CAN SHOW YOU. IN THE COLLAR WHERE THE DUAL MASS IS CONNECTED IT IS FRACTURED AND SNAPPED. MECHANIC SAYS THERE IS NO REASON FOR THE PART TO BREAK THERE UNLESS IT WAS BAD. AFTER RESEARCHING IT HE TOLD ME IT WAS A MAJOR PROBLEM AND THE DUAL MASS FLYWHEEL WAS POORLY DESIGNED. THERE IS NO WAY I CAN AFFORD A NEW DUAL MASS FLYWHEEL. THE SHOP SAID THERE WAS A LAWSUIT OUT THERE TO HELP WITH REPAIRS DUE TO THIS DEFECT BUT I DON'T KNOW HOW TO CONNECT WITH IT. I FOUND WHERE THERE IS LOTS OF INFORMATION ABOUT THE 2003 TIBERON LAWSUIT. DO YOU KNOW IF THERE IS A LAWSUIT REGARDING THE 2007 TIBERON FLYWHEEL? HOW CAN I GET MY NAME ONTO IT? *TR
