| Description of the problem | My 2004 hyundai sonata has been having clutch and flywheel problems starting at less than 10,000 miles. It is now at 40,000 miles and it's getting worse. I've had mechanics (not biased hyundai personal) tell me that the fly wheel is most likely warped, causing the clutch to shimmy and slip under load (up hills with passengers, etc). I had the dealer look at it and they said it was "fine". I'm thinking about taking it to another dealership. *jb |
