2003 Hyundai Tiburon SE review from North America

I have a 2003 GT V6 Tiburon. It was my first car, and I got it because it looked great and I heard that they were good on gas. Now, I know better. Here are some of the problems I have encountered:

1. About 3 months after I got the car, the battery had to be replaced, no big deal, these things happen.

2. Then, I began having problems with my radio/CD player. It would turn off the radio and try to play a CD by itself. Never got that fixed, it just stopped doing it all the time and now it only happens every once in a while.

3. Next, my seat belt light came on. The driver side seat belt had to be replaced; I think it was the sensor that was messed up.

4. Then, my door locks broke. I had to replace the actuator. Now, if I try to use my key to open the door, the alarm goes off.

5. My sunroof does not leak, but if you are driving on the bypass and going 60mph or more, it makes an awful noise that makes you feel like the top is going to blow off.

6. The passenger seat gets stuck a lot, and it's very hard to put down or back up when someone has to sit in the back.

7. I have had to replace the shocks on my trunk, because they went bad and my trunk would not open.

8. The driver's side door freezes shut when the weather is cold, and it's impossible to open without a cup of warm water.

9. The weather stripping on the passenger side has fallen off around the bottom of the door, and the little yellow clips are broken.

10. I feel like it is only a matter of time before something happens to the transmission. It is automatic but it shifts very hard.

11. Two weeks ago I had to replace my passenger side wheel bearing because it went bad.

12. Last night, my car began to smell like gas. It is so strong that after just a short 5 minute ride I was nauseous and had a terrible headache.

After having this car for almost 4 years, I have decided that I am tired of wasting my money to fix it, and I will be trading it in very soon!
