| Product type code | VEHICLE |
| Description of the problem | On december 15, 2005 i purchased a 2006 hyundai tiburon gt. After only 2500 miles the clutch went out. I have plenty of experience driving a manual transmission, so they couldn't blame me for riding the clutch. I'm now at 5400 miles and the clutch has gone out again. There is no reason for this, it just causes me frustration, and money that i pay for a car that doesn't work. *jb |
