I just recently bought a 99' Tiburon and since then things couldn't be worse. The engine keeps making awful noises, it sounds like the engine is about to fall out. I haven't even owned this car for two full months yet and the stress that it's causing me is incredible.
My alarm system is off the wall and no one knows how to fix it, and all the service center's guys did was put really thick oil into my engine when I brought it in because the engine was making a god awful ticking noise. That problem has been solved, but now the engine sounds like a rock tumbler when I accelerate and I have no idea what it could be.
The Tiburon is a cute car and all, but it's truly not worth the money to repair it. Unfortunately if it's not one thing it's something else.
I have a 1999 hyundai tiburon fx and it is by far the best automobile I've ever owned very fast and sporty design with all the bells and whistles. I would by another tibby in a heartbeat.
