| Description of the problem | 2006 hyundai tiburon seems like a high performance sports car. And it looks slick, but something about its manual clutch, fly wheel, master cylinder, presser plate, all that and more. Makes this 06 tibby a peace of bad engineering garbage! I bought this car jan 9 2007 with 3333 miles on it on july 24 2007 with 14,687 "i had to pay" 1,865. 25 dollars to replace the mesh flywheel, presser plate, and clutch in my brand new 2006 hyundai tiburon! This is crazy, the factor, hyundai, car max, or my extended warranty wouldn't cover this! Here i am again oct. 26 2008 with 44,000 miles my tibby is in the shop again. This time its the master cylinder, as often as i keep seeing this happen to other owners, of the 2006 hyundai tiburon i know its not just me or my car alone, its a big problem with every owner! If something isn't done about this, then my fellow 06 hyundai tiburon owners, my lawyer with dates and copies of repair receipt just waiting for my q to file something on hyundai, and i will try to have this problem taken care of because of until now nobody has! Hyundai should not want ppl telling other ppl not to get a hyundai because they build bad vehicles should they? That's bad business all around! |
