“2005 Hyundai Tiburon se v6 std. - clutch replaced under warranty at 42k and again at 53k - 7 mos later clutch failed again. Hyundai states we've covered 2 times, not covering again . Obviously this is an ongoing problem w/this vehicle - I've owned standards all my life, mazda 189k on original clutch and datsun 110k on original clutch - have never had to replace a clutch. There are several online complaints regarding 2005 clutch failings not covered. …”
NHTSA complaint #10314213, filed 2010-02, 73,000 miles“I have an 05 Tiburon that was purchased in october of 05. The clutch will not stop racing when shifting gears. We took it in and they said that the flywheel, baring, and disc, are damaged and are not covered under warranty. The warranty only covers up to 12,000 miles and we have 16,900 miles on the car. My daughter uses it to drive to school (about 4 miles) and to work (about 4 miles). This is ridiculous knowing she doesn't race the car or even knows how to pop a clutch. …”
