| Component | POWER TRAIN:CLUTCH ASSEMBLY |
| Product type code | VEHICLE |
| Description of the problem | I have a 2004 hyundai tiburon gt. I only have 33000 miles on the vehicle, and already having problems with the clutch. I have checked many chat rooms and forums and there are many others with this same vehicle having the same problems. This is a recurring issue with many tiburon owners with relatively low miles. I do also feel that there is also a safety issue at risk, because there lies the possibility that the clutch were to completely fail and cause the trans. To lock up. So some sort of notification to hyundai would be greatly appreciated. *jb |
