2003 Hyundai Tiburon GT review from North America
"Warranty not being honored; it's a LEMON"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
1) Paint peeled off of gas cap
2) Sunroof stuck in open position
3) Seatbelt malfunction
4) Airbag light constantly on
5) Power window failed to function
6) Clutch failure 38000 miles
General comments?
The car handles corners without significant body lean, engine quiet. Shifting gears difficult.
Several lawsuits have been filed in regards to clutch failing. See below websites. Submit service failure to the Better Business Bureau. Complain to Hyundai automotive. Currently Hyundai has denied my claim.
