The contact owns a 2000 Hyundai Tiburon. The contact stated that there were several failures that progressed and recurred without warning. The vehicle was taken to the authorized dealer who replaced the charcoal canisters twice and the failure recurred in which there were strong fumes that emitted into the vehicle. The rear passenger side wheel bearing was replaced, the ignition switch was replaced more than once, and the key was still not communicating to turn over into a start position without several attempts. The contact also indicated that there was an electrical short in which the day time running lights flickered, were low at times, and were replaced more than ten times; however, the failure recurred intermittently. The vehicle was not repaired. The vehicle was included in NHTSA campaign number: 01v345000 (seat belts) and received the recall repair; however, the seat belt was constricting while moving and it would not retract unless the driver side seat belt was unbuckled. The dealer stated that the motor mounts needed to be replaced as well. The vehicle was not included in NHTSA campaign numbers: 04v369000 (fuel system, gasoline) and 04v178000 (fuel system, gasoline). The manufacturer was notified of the failures. The approximate failure mileage was 80,000.

Car started making loud tapping noise, about 3 days later it started having problems accelerating. I had a friend that works on cars look at it and he said it was valve tapping coming from the engine. He used some oil to remedy the problem temporarily but said problem will continue until engine is most likely replaced?!?! I had to have the transmission replaced in 2003 after being told for several months that it was just my air conditioner! it is problem after problem with this car and to top it all off I have never received any recall information on this car with the exclusion of the seatbelt recall, what kind of company did I buy a car from?.

I purchased a 2000 Tiburon approx. June 2001 with 9600 miles already. Since I bought it I've been finding problems and I've taken it for service about 7 times already. They've replaced the lamp above on the roof that melted and broke once, they fixed the vessel glass 3 times already because it keeps cracking, while replacing the vessel glass (the glass that protects the odometer and other needless indicators) they broke my ac, heater, cruise control, rear defrost, front defrost. The seat belt was a recall. Until now the car is in the shop getting the ac, defrost problem fixed.

While driving at various speeds the transmission would down shift from high gear to lower gear and then lock up. The vehicle would jerk forward and remain in the lowest gear when this happened. The wheel would lock up just prior to being release. The vehicle has been to the dealer who changed the speed sensors 3 months before the transmission was replaced. The speed sensor was replaced 2 times. The pulse generator was replaced a total of 4 times. The thermostat has also been replaced. Also there was a tire label replacement. Stopper and elr seat belt was installed. Blade fuse and wire repairs. Hood latch cleaned. Dealership most recently found the transmission had internal problems and replaced the transmission and flushed the cooler lines.
