2003 Hyundai Tiburon GT review from North America
"A nice looking lemon"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
When I first picked up my car it had a noticeable pull to the right. So far I have visited the dealership 4 times to have this problem fixed. The dealership has checked the alignment, air pressure, as well as rotating the tires, and still there is no clue why it pulls to the right.
The second problem I have had is the automatic lights. Taking for granted that they will turn off by themselves like the owners manual says it will, I turned off my car for the night, only to return to a dead battery.
The manufacture company is ordering special bolts to fix the steering problem. However, the dealership has to be called and reminded about each problem I have, or they don't call for weeks.
General comments?
Over all I am very disappointed with the outcome of my purchase. From the beginning it has only caused stress and absolutely nothing has gone smoothly.
The car I purchased seems to be a lemon.
