| Description of the problem | My 2007 hyundai tiburon clutch is going out one way or the other. I read many of forums stating hyundai is not taking the cost. All of these forums state that the owners clutches are going out pre-maturely and hyunday states that its the owners driving habits. If you look at all the responses you will see that there is way to many "bad habit drivers" i have not yet taken my car in but i feel i know what is going to be said. I will be back when i know more. When i was driving down the road at about 55 the car made aloud screeching sound and then would not move anymore. After messing with the clutch and attempting to shift the car finally started to move but at a very slow pace. I was in fear of being rear ended as i was on the high way. |
