2001 Hyundai Tiburon SE review from North America
"Great Car, but horrible warranty"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
O2 sensor has gone.
Passenger mat clip doesn't work.
Back seat belt clip doesn't rotate, so it damages my back seat when the seat gets folded down.
Paint chips very easily.
My trunk door has to be slammed very hard to shut otherwise it doesn't close.
Nothing apparently is covered under the warranty, so it all gets paid out of my pocket.
My front tire has a constant slow leak.
General comments?
I love my 2001 Tiburon, but my warranty just ran out two months ago, and now it seems like it's falling apart. When I've taking my car into the dealership to get it fixed, they tell me that nothing can be fixed under warranty. Make sure that you see them actually put what they say in the computer, otherwise they change their story very quickly when you come back down the road to get things fixed again.
The car is a great car, but the worse thing about the whole car is how Hyundai treats its car owners. I'm very not impressed.
