Tiburon 4-cyl

  • Manual transmission
  • 9,500 miles
At approximately 9,500 miles, my 2005 Hyundai Tiburon began to have clutch problems. Dealership said it was from abuse since the car was driven by my 18-year old daughter. They said it was not covered under warranty, but that the would replace the clutch under warranty this time only. If there was a next time, it would cost me $1,700. After the repair I began driving the Tiburon and after approximately 3,000 miles, the clutch is slipping again. I am a 57-year old female who does not abuse this car.
