| Description of the problem | I was previously the owner of a 2003 hyundai tiburon and had to spend over $2000 to replace the clutch at approximately 40,000 miles. There has since been a class action suit against hyundai for this issue as they knew the clutch was faulty but insisted it was the driver. I have since upgraded to a 2007 tiburon (before i knew of the severity of the clutch problem) and now at 47,000 am experiencing the same clutch issues. As i can't afford to sell the car i have to prepare to dump an additional $2000 to fix the issue. |
