I HAVE A 2003 HYUNDAI TIBURON GT V6 6-SPEED AND AT 61,000 MILES THE CLUTCH MASTER CYLINDER AND FLYWHEEL HAVE COMPLETELY FALLEN APART. IT HAS COST ME OVER $2,000.00 IN DAMAGE AND I WAS TOLD BY THE MECHANIC THE CONDITION OF THE CLUTCH AND FLYWHEEL WAS COMPLETELY OUT OF THE NORMAL! I HAVE ALSO HEARD MANY OTHER COMPLAINTS OF THIS SAME ISSUE WITH THE HYUNDAI TIBURON. ALSO, GIRARD GIBBS LLP IS INVESTIGATING CLAIMS IN CONNECTION WITH A PENDING LAWSUIT SEEKING CLASS ACTION STATUS AGAINST HYUNDAI AMERICA, INC. CONSUMERS COMPLAIN THAT CERTAIN HYUNDAI TIBURONS EXPERIENCE PREMATURE CLUTCH AND/OR FLYWHEEL FAILURES, RESULTING IN THE VEHICLE BEING INOPERABLE. CONSUMERS ALSO COMPLAIN THAT HYUNDAI DOES NOT REPLACE THE PARTS UNDER WARRANTY, RESULTING IN TREMENDOUS COST OF REPLACEMENTS TO THE CONSUMER. *JB

I HAVE A 2003 HYUNDAI TIBURON GT WITH 6-SPEED STANDARD TRANSMISSION AND 46000 MILES. I LIVE IN INDIANAPOLIS, IN AND THE CAR WAS MANUFACTURED IN OCTOBER OF 2002. RECENTLY I HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING PROBLEMS WITH THE CLUTCH IN THIS CAR. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY TOLD ME THAT THE FAILURE IS DUE TO MY DRIVING HABITS AND THEY HAVE NO RESPONSIBILITY UNDER WARRANTY FOR THIS PROBLEM. I HAVE BEEN ARGUING WITH THEM FOR ABOUT A WEEK NOW BECAUSE OF ALL OF THE CLAIMS ON THE WEB THAT ARE EXACTLY LIKE WHAT I AM GOING THROUGH WITH THIS SAME CAR. THEY HAVE GIVEN ME A QUOTE OF 1356 DOLLARS TO REPLACE THE CLUTCH, PRESSURE PLATE, AND FLYWHEEL AND SAID THAT THEY WOULD PAY 50% OF THIS AS "GOODWILL". THE WHOLE SITUATION SEEMS UNBELIEVABLE TO ME. I HAVE DRIVEN A STANDARD TRANSMISSION FOR SEVERAL YEARS AND HAVE NEVER HAD ANY OTHER CAR WITH THESE PROBLEMS. THE DEALER WHO IS SERVICING THE CAR EVEN SAYS THAT THE CLUTCH SHOULD LAST TWICE AS LONG AS IT HAS. HYUNDAI MOTOR AMERICA'S CORPORATE OFFICE IS WHO I HAVE BEEN ARGUING WITH ABOUT THIS ISSUE AND I THINK THAT THEY MAY BE JUST OFFERING TO PAY HALF BECAUSE THEY KNOW THAT THEY REALLY SHOULD PAY FOR THE WHOLE THING. I JUST DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO BECAUSE THERE IS NO WAY FOR ME TO KNOW WHAT IS TRULY GOING ON WITH THIS SITUATION AND WHETHER HMA IS LYING TO ME OR NOT. I APPRECIATE ANY HELP. THANK YOU. *NM

I HAVE EXPERIENCED A CLUTCH FAILURE AT 4500 MI AND PAID OUT OF MY OWN POCKET TO FIX IT. I AM CURRENTLY EXPERIENCING TRANSMSSION PROBLEMS WITH MY 2003 HYUNDAI TIBURON V6 6SPD AND I DONT THINK HYUNDAI IS WILLING TO FIX IT UNDER THEIR "AMAZING" 100,000 MILE WARRANTY. *JB

I HAVE 2003 V6 TIBURON, CLUTCH FAILED AT 19,000 MILES. I LEARNED TO DRIVE ON MANUAL TRANSMISSION, HAVE DRIVEN 6 YEARS AND NEVER ANY CLUTCH PROBLEMS UNTIL THIS CAR. DEALERSHIP BLAMED ME STATING "OWNER ABUSE". HAD HYUNDAI REGIONAL REP COME OUT AND SHE ALSO BLAMED ME, AND SAID THERE WERE NO OTHER COMPLAINTS ON 2003 TIBURONS. TOLD HER ABOUT THIS SITE AND SHE SAID "OH WELL, THAT'S FROM PEOPLE WHO RACE THEIR CARS AND ABUSE THEM, WE'RE NOT TAKING RESPONSIBILITY FOR THEIR PROBLEMS THAT THEY'VE CAUSED THEMSELVES". DEALERSHIP WAS GREAT, THEY CAME DOWN ON COST OF REPAIR FROM $1700 TO $1400. THEY REPLACED ALL PARTS WITH 2004 PARTS AND I HAVEN'T HAD ANY OTHER PROBLEMS, EVEN THOUGH I STILL DRIVE THE SAME AS I ALWAYS DID, SO HOW CAN IT BE "OWNER ABUSE" THAT CAUSED THE PROBLEM? IF IT WAS MY FAULT THEN WHY HASN'T IT HAPPENED AGAIN? MY MOM BOUGHT 2004 5 SPEED TIBURON (SHE BOUGHT IT BEFORE MY PROBLEMS STARTED) AND HASN'T HAD ANY TROUBLE AT ALL. SEEMS HYUNDAI DID REALIZE THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH 2003 CLUTCH ASSEMBLY AND WOULDN'T EVER ADMIT IT, BUT CHANGED PARTS FOR 2004. THEY NEED TO ACKNOWLEDGE THIS WIDESPREAD PROBLEM AND REIMBURSE ALL OWNERS THAT HAVE PAID OUT OF POCKET TO REPAIR SOMETHING THAT WAS HYUNDAI'S FAULT IN THE FIRST PLACE. *NM

AFTER CLUTCH REPLACEMENT WITH AN IDENTICAL CLUTCH KIT, IT FAILED AGAIN ON ME 5/29/2006 JUST 3000 MILES LATER. THIS REPAIR WILL COST ME MUCH MORE, MOST LIKELY AROUND $1500. I UNDERSTAND THAT THEIR IS FAULTY CLUTCH THAT COMES WITH THE TIBURON GT AS NUMEROUS PROBLEMS HAVE BEEN REPORTED IN RELATION TO EARLY CLUTCH FAILURE. IT IS UNACCEPTABLE FOR THE CLUTCH TO FAIL TWICE WITHIN 33000 MILES. *NM
