| Description of the problem | I was driving my car on 01-11-06 and noticed that it wasn't catching when i shifted. I had next to no acceleration. On 01-12-06 the problem worsened. I got my car off the road and parked it. I called several hyundai dealerships and was told that the clutch was going out and that it would not be a warranty fix even with the car only having 18,000 miles on it. I was told that it was because of my driving. I finally found a service manager who was willing to look up the tsb and said that my research was correct but that he could not guarantee me a warranty fix. My car was towed to (on 01-13-06) and is currently sitting at avondale hyundai waiting to be looked at. *jb |
