2004 Hyundai Tiburon Transmission and drivetrain Problems

“Clutch recall, powertrain recall, master cylinder recall, slave cylinder recall. When driving my car after a week of purchasing the car I pushed the clutch pedal to the floor to shift, and the pedal did not come back up. After several attempts to bring it back up to shift it finally came back. When shifting again the car died instantly, and after the car was off I could shift to any gears. When turning the car back on in neutral the car turned on, but would not shift to first it would push itself forward and die. …”

“My 2004 Hyundai Tiburon has an ailing clutch problem that I've learned is very common among other owners. The other morning I was leaving for work and as I began to pull out onto the main street, my car (while in gear) slipped and the rpms revved as I sat crossing the two lanes of traffic! Was not a fun time. This is not the first time the car has put me into a uncomfortable scenario. Keep in mind the car has 40,000miles.”

“I have owned a 2004 Hyundai Tiburon since jan of 2005, it was purchased brand new with 2 miles on it. Since about 10k miles, my clutch has been slipping, Hyundai refuses to fix it under their warranty, stating it is a wearable part. I have been driving manual transmission cars for almost 25 years.. And this is the first clutch I have had go out, let alone at such low mileage.”

“The clutch started slipping with only 16,500 miles on it. I took it to the dealer in january 2006 to have the clutch replaced. They told me I was at fault due to my driving habits. They offered me a discount on the parts. The dealer was going to use exact replacement parts but from what I found out about the clutch I provided on my own after market parts that cost $ 478.56 dollars and the dealer charged $870.00 for labor.”

“This is concerning a 2004 Hyundai Tiburon gt. I have found this to be a very common problem with many 03-04 tiburons. In my case, the clutch and flywheel needed to be replaced at 49,450 (12/04/06) and 86,175 (4/21/09) miles. The cost for each repair is almost $2000. I bought this car because I could not afford a more costly car and now I have to pay these ridiculous charges for faulty parts. I don't understand why Hyundai has not done anything about this epidemic of a problem..”
