2006 Hyundai Tiburon GS review from North America
"Has some kind of flaw"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
At 22,000 miles the clutch went out, had a clutch master aluminum flywheel clutch put in and it last 1000 miles, both clutches shattered; Hyundai wanted $2400 to repair. I now have a steel flywheel and it appears to be working fine. Hyundai claims the clutch is not part of the drive train (huh). I am 67 years old so I don't hot rod it.
General comments?
Why is the car not under warranty?
The clutch is part of the drive train.
When I bought car, I asked about the timing belt, transmission and clutch, and the sales manager said all under warranty.
Lots of problems with clutches on Tiburons.
