| Description of the problem | 2006 hyundai tiburon clutch failure. We noticed that the clutch was starting to slip. Shifter started to get stuck in gear. Took to dealership where purchased and was told that it was going to cost 2000. 00 to replace the clutch, they also proceed to question me saying that it appears that the car has been raced. We do not race our vehicles. In reading other complaints, this seems to be an on going problem with the standard transmissions in the hyundai's. I am to wonder if this make and model of vehicle should continue on the market. In order for the dealership to uphold the warranty, you have to have the vehicle maintenance done at a hyundai dealership and at the specified mileage. The maintenance is not cheap on this vehicle. Our vehicle is at 32,000 miles maintenance was to be done at 30,000 miles, we were unable to afford the almost 600. 00 for the maintenance. Now they want 2000. 00 to replace the clutch and fly wheel. Someone really needs to check into the manufacturing of this make and model. |
