Nothing has gone wrong with the car.
General comments?
This is my third Tiburon. I had a '97 and traded it in for a 2001 because the '97 didn't have air conditioning. The 2001 was the best car I have ever owned. The only problem I had with it, the clutch went during a road trip. The odometer was at 122,351 Km. Other than regular maintenance, that was the only problem I ever had with that car. I traded it in on a 2001 Santa Fe because I needed an SUV because I sort of aqcuired several dogs. I replaced a lower ball joint at about 160,000 Km. I have now traded the Santa Fe for a 2003 Tiburon Tuscani with 45,000 Km's on it. I have put 2000 Km's on it since I got it and it is just as good as my 2001 was, only faster. I would recommend Tib's to anyone looking for a fun, reliable car. I'm sorry to hear some of you have had so many problems. Maybe it's the way you drive!
