The car has never drove straight since day one of purchase of vehicle.
My car has been aligned 3 times in the last 18 months and continues to pull to the right.
Hyundai is now blowing me off saying that I am out of my 12 month 12,000 mile warranty.
They have blamed my car pulling to the right on many things. Pot holes, my driving, to a radial pull, to the tire model that came with the car, to just the alignment.
Nine times out of ten when a vehicle pulls it is due to the tires, not the alignment. Your alignment would have to be off pretty dramatic to notice a pull plus you would get very bad tire wear.
Well, fellow Tiburon owner... I am going through the same exact thing! I have a 2004 that I have already had to put a set of tires on. Two months after the new tires I happened to notice that both rear tires were as slick as nascar tires! Back to the dealership for alignment #2. The dealership did replace my rear tires though. Now my right front tire is completely bald on outer edge with those beautiful threads that start shining! I got the same story about hitting the potholes and just down right burning the rubber off the tires. I am over my warranty also therefore they are going to make me pay for alignment #3. I am a 38yr. single mother (I promise I don't take my car to the drag strip every wknd!) who cannot afford to buy 17" low profiles every 3 -6 months! Might I add that they really run me around since I don't have a knowledgeable man there to argue my defense! Good Luck! I am thinking of burning mine!!
Www.newtiburon.com is a good site to check for issues and solutions. My car is currently in the shop for an alignment, after buying new tires. My new tires are wearing on the inside. The tech doing the work (not the dealership) said he is unable to put the tire to spec because it needs a camber bolt to allow for full adjustment. The dealership never mentioned this to me when I had them align it. I am not sure if time or anything else caused this, or if it is something inherent to the new Tiburons. Hopefully the correct adjustment will take care of this issue. As for the pulling to the right, I wonder if this adjustment might take care of that because I too have had a pull to the right since owning the car (2.5 years).
