Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“I have had to replace my clutch, dual fly wheel entire clutch system 3 times now in the last 3 1/2 years. Each time costing me anywhere from $2400,- $3,400. No way should a clutch need replaced that much that soon, each clutch lasted approx 13 months. Hyundai wants nothing to do with the problem yet thousands of people are having same issues. Something needs to be looked at. Who can afford this much work every year? No one. I have spent close to $10,000 on 3 clutch jobs in 3 years. I'm taking it to bbb as well.”
