| Description of the problem | Bought a 2006 tiburon, i drive the car to work and back lightly (no hard acceleration, racing etc). After 9000 miles the clutch suddenly went out, leaving me stranded on the road, needed to be towed into dealership, took 6 days to get the car back on the road, they replaced the entire clutch assembly. Dealership repaired under warranty. I'm having other issues with the car including uneven acceleration and high idling. The car isn't even a year old, wouldn't recommend this model to anyone. *jb |
