“This is the second time the clutch has gone out. The first time was on may 2003 and I purchased the car in august of 2002. Hyundai flat out refused to pay for the repair and after much hassle they paid to fix it. This second time the clutch went out in august 2003. Hyundai is not wanting to pay to replace clutch. Their reason is that it is not under warranty, it has only been three months since they replaced the clutch. I was told it has a year warranty. They have had my car for three weeks. …”

NHTSA complaint #10702114, filed 2015-03, 87,923 miles“I purchased a 2003 black Hyundai Tiburon in march 2003. I have recently noticed paint chips all over the hood. I have also noticed fading which resulted in a circular form rippling of paint, which the dealer claims to be environmental factors.”
NHTSA complaint #10078846, filed 2004-06“Paint on the 2003 Tiburon (blue) improper application results in micro flecks of paint coming off of hood and other parts of car. Either adhesion is poor or paint much too thin for the mildest of road conditions resulting in rapidly aging appearance and condition. Unacceptable in my opinion. Need either a tinted clearcoat applied or repainted.”
