“I have a 2006 Tiburon and have already had to have it in the shop four times. For the sunroof, which still does not work right and the transmission. Now it is starting to be sluggish again. I don't trash my car or hot rod it either. The motor in the sunroof has been replaced. The transmission has just been reprogrammed each time so who knows what will be done this time.”
