problem #1

Apr 052006

Tiburon GT V6

  • Manual transmission
  • 30,000 miles

Linkage bolt was recalled, never got that information due to manufacturer defect. Bolt came off with two warranties active, and the Hyundia dealerships refused to honor the warranty . called main Hyundia office in California, they told me tough luck that they didn't have to honor any warranty on the car and refused to help. Bolt came off while driving barely got it in the driveway. Had no transmission, gears, is a 5 speed manual transmission. Since no one would help me while still making payments an insurance on it sat in driveway for over 6 months. Told the credit union to come an get it. They said didn't want it. Car sat, until I had money for a private mechanic agreed to look at it. Had to drop out the transmission to get to bolt, that's when I learned they put on the wrong bolt , it wasn't a locking bolt should have been. I had to pay out of pocket 2,800.00, to fix it!!!!!! Mad, will never buy from Hyundia again and I've been telling everyone I know not to. Never got the recall notice and could have caused a fatal accident!!!!!! Still pissed!!!!!
