| Product type code | VEHICLE |
| Description of the problem | At about 8,000 miles on the car i noticed that the clutch would not always hold while trying to accelerate to merge with traffic. Also the synchronization gears started to allow the transmission to grind while shifting into other gears at about 10,000. Hyundai warranted the transmission for the syncros, and i am sure they would have warranted the clutch too, but for the history that the clutches have had in our community (tiburons) i knew i would have to replace the clutch in 20k miles again. So i decided to not have them warranty the clutch so i could put in a clutch that i knew would last longer than i planed on owning the vehicle. Kind of sad not to have faith in your manufactures product's...*nm |
