IF ONE PERSON CAN FIND OTHER PEOPLE WITH DIFFERENT YEAR VEHICLES OF THE SAME PROBLEM. DO WE HAVE TO HAVE PEOPLE KILLED BEFORE YOU TAKE ACTION ON ANY SITUATION. A CHECK VALVE AND SPRING MAY BE REMOVED TO REMEDY THIS DANGEROUS SITUATION. IT CAUSES THE CAR TO LURCH OF BUCK UNEXPECTEDLY. POSSIBLY CAUSING A REAR END COLLISION. *TR

MY CLUTCH WENT OUT OF MY CAR AFTER THIRTY FIVE THOUSAND MILES. I UNDERSTAND THAT IT IS A WEAR ITEM BUT I KNOW HOW TO DRIVE STICK AND THAT IS WAY TO SOON FOR IT TO GO OUT. NOW IT HAS BEEN ANOTHER THIRTY FIVE THOUSAND MILES AND IT IS GOING OUT AGAIN. I TALKED TO OTHERS WHO HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THE 2006 HYUNDAI TIBURON. WHEN THE CLUTCH WENT OUT IT WAS FINE ONE DAY AND GRABBING AT THE FLOOR THE NEXT IT DIDN'T GET PROGRESSIVELY BAD. OTHER TIBURON OWNERS WERE ONLY GETTING TWENTY FIVE THOUSAND MILES OUT OF THEIR CLUTCHES, SO CLEARLY THIS IS A HUGE PROBLEM. *TR

My clutch is slipping already. Ive owned the car for six months and the previous owner repaced the cluch, and he o ly owned the car for 10 months. My previous standard transmission car went through 1 clutvh in the 15 years i owned it. Something must be defective. I do not know what the situation will be when it goes out all the way , i just really hope it does not hurt anyone. Becaus e of circumstancesthe damage to me and my life is quite great. And god please dont let it physically hurt me on top of the fact i vary well may go to prison for something i absolutlly did not do.i worked out of state and without my car i will not make it to court. Since i lost my job because of this incident i did not do, i cannot fix the car before it goes all the way out. Once again please god let no one get huet by my car, please please please

CLUTCH FAILS TO DISENGAGE. THIS IS MOST DANGEROUS WHEN VEHICLE IS PARKED IN GEAR(AS WHEN PARKED ON A HILL WITH THE REAR OF THE FRONT WHEELS TURNED TO CURB, AND AN ATTEMPT IS MADE TO START VEHICLE BY PUSHING CLUTCH PEDAL DOWN AND ACTIVATING IGNITION, THE VEHICLE MAY START WITH CLUTCH ENGAGED, AND PROPEL THE VEHICLE INTO STREET AND INTO TH E LANE WHERE TRAFFIC IS APPROACHING FROM BEHIND, AND THEREFORE OUT OF SIGHT. OTHER DANGEROUS SITUATIONS ARE ATTEMPTS ARE MADE TO START VEHICLE ARE MADE IN CROWDED PARKING LOTS WHERE PEDESTRIANS MIGHT BE WALKING BEHIND CAR, AND VEHICLE IS PROPELLED REARWARD. ADDITIONALLY, IF ATTEMPTS ARE MADE TO STOP QUICKLY AS WHEN A CAR PU;LLS OUT IN FRONT OF YOU AS IN AN INTERSECTION, THE CLUTCH MIGHT NOT DISENGAGE, AND THE INERTIAL POWER OF THE ENGINE MIGHT OVERPOWER THE BRAKES, AND VEHICLE WILL CONTINUE FORWARD UNTIL ENGINE POWER IS OVERCOME BY BRAKE POWER INCIDENT EACH OF THESE SITUATIONS HAS HAPPENED TO ME, BUT I HAVE MANAGED, SO FAR, TO AVOID THE SUGGESTED RESULTS.

I HAD A 2006 TIBURON HYUNDAI. ON JUNE 25TH I WAS IN A ROLE OVER ACCIDENT AND NOT ONE AIR BAG DEPLOYED. I FEEL HYUNDAI HAS GIVEN FALSE ADVERTISEMENT. NOW THE INSURANCE IS CLAIMING IT A TOTAL LOSS AND HYUNDAI IS WANTING TO TAKE OVER THE VEHICLE AND USE IT FOR SALVAGE WITH OUT RECOGNIZING THERE WAS AN ISSUE WITH THE AIR BAGS NOT DEPLOYING. DUE TO INFORMATION GIVEN BY POLICE HYUNDAI IS FIGHTING FOR THE RELEASE OF THE VEHICLE. HOWEVER THEY CONTINUE TO REFUSE TO ACKNOWLEDGE THEIR WAS A DEFECT WITH THEIR AIR BAGS. *TR

CHECKED TIRED PRESSURES ALL WAS 32 OR 34 PSI. I THOUGH MAYBE IT WAS THE ROAD SO I CONTINUED TO EXIT 126EAST ON I 70 GOT OFF EXIT BECAUSE I HEARD THE SAME NOISE. I THEN DROVE THE CAR AROUND THE TRUCKSTOP AND LISTENED TO THE TIRES.. REAR PASSENGER WAS MAKING A HORRIBLE NOISE SO I DECIDED TO TURN BACK AROUND AND COME BACK HOME EVEN THOUGH THE TIRES LOOKED FINE. I PULLED OUT OF THE TRUCK STOP AND OVER THE BRIDGE TO GO WEST ON I-70 HEADING ABOUT 20MPH AND HEARD A LOUD POP. THE TIRE BLEW OUT.. CONTINUED OVER THE BRIDGE TO THE PILOT TRUCK STOP AND NOTICED THERE WAS STILL AIR IN THE TIRE.. I PROCEEDED TO TAKE THE TIRE OFF AND FOUND THAT THE INSIDE OF THE TIRE SPLIT AT THE SEAM. THESE TIRES ARE DANGEROUS!!! THE ENTIRE SIDE BLEW OUT.. BUT THERE IS STILL AIR IN THEM.. FIRESTONE SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED TO MAKE TIRES ANYMORE.. IF I WOULD HAVE BEEN GOING 65MPH I WOULD PROBABLY BE DEAD. FIRESTONE 215/45R17 POTENZA. *TR

I BOUGHT A 2006 HYUNDAI TIBURON. THE CAR NOW HAS ONLY 32,000 MILES AND I STARTED EXPERIENCING PROBLEMS WITH THE CLUTCH. I BROUGHT MY CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP TO HAVE THEM INSPECT A LOUD TICKING NOISE IN FEB.2008. THEY THEN PROCEEDED TO TELL ME IMMEDIATELY THAT IT WAS THE CLUTCH BEARING MAKING THE NOISE AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. I TOLD THEM OK AND ASKED THEM TO FIX IT. TOLD ME THAT IT WAS A WEAR AND TEAR ITEM, AND WAS NOT COVERED UNDER THE WARRANTY. I LEFT MY CAR AT THE DEALERSHIP AND CALLED LATER TO CHECK ON THE CAR. THEY ONCE AGAIN SAID THAT THE PROBLEM WAS THE CLUTCH BEARING AND I NEEDED TO REPLACE THE WHOLE CLUTCH FOR $900. AFTER COMPLAINING TO HYUNDAI CORPORATE. THE DEALER THEN STATED THAT THEY DID NOT HAVE ENOUGH TIME TO COMPLETELY DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM, AND COULD NOT TELL ME WHO THE PERSON WHOM I TALKED TO. I LEFT MY CAR AT THE DEALERSHIP ON TWO DIFFERENT OCCASIONS. I RECENTLY TOOK THE CAR BACK IN FOR THE SAME PROBLEM. ONLY AT THIS POINT, THE CLUTCH PEDAL WAS MAKING A GRINDING FEELING. I HAVE TO PUT ABOUT 20LBS. PRESSURE ON THE PEDAL TO EASILY ENGAGE 1ST GEAR OR REVERSE FOR THAT MATTER. AT MY LAST VISIT, THEY MOCKED ME AND TRIED TO CHANGE THE TOPIC. THEN TOLD ME THEY WOULD ORDER THE CLUTCH BEARING AND REPLACE IT. BUT ENSURED ME THAT THEY CLUTCH STILL NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. WHEN I TRIED TO EXPLAIN HOW I DO NOT RACE THE CAR, THE GENTLEMAN TOLD ME IN THE TEN YEARS HE HAS BEEN THERE, ONLY ONE PERSON ADMITTED BURNING UP THE CLUTCH. AT THIS POINT I FEEL LIKE I HAVE BEEN TAKEN ADVANTAGE OF, CALLED A LIAR, AND DENIED THE WARRANTY SERVICES THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN RENDERED TO ME. IT SEEMS LIKE THIS HAS BEEN A RECURRING ISSUE. I HAVE YET TO HAVE THE BEARING REPLACED WAITING ON A PHONE CALL. *TR

EVER SINCE I PURCHASED MY 2006 HYUNDAI TIBURON IN MARCH 2006, I HAVE HAD AN ALIGNMENT PROBLEM. MY CAR ALWAYS PULLED RIGHT. AFTER SPENDING MONEY FOR ALIGNMENT NEW TIRES,AND RIMS A FRIEND INFORMED ME OF A SERVICE BULLETIN. I WENT TO A DEALER SERVICE DEPARTMENT AND HAD CORRECTED MY VEHICLE PER THE SERVICE BULLETIN. ACCORDING TO THE NATIONAL HIGHWAY TRAFFIC SAFETY ADMINISTRATION (NHTSA) WEBSITE, NHTSA ITEM NUMBER 10015876, HYUNDAI ISSUED A SERVICE BULLETIN NUMBER 0550001, FOR ?FOUR WHEEL ALIGNMENT ?EX CAM XR CAMBER ANGLE ADJUSTING BOLTS.? THIS HAS STILL NOT FIXED MY PROBLEM. SO FAR I HAVE SPENT FOR FOUR ALIGNMENTS, SIX NEW TIRES, AND MY VEHICLE ONLY HAS 16'000 MILES. PLEASE ASK HYUNDAI TO FIX THE ALIGNMENT PROBLEM PROPERLY AND ALSO REIMBURSE US FOR OUR EXPENSES. *JB
