1 Engine problem of the 2003 Hyundai Tiburon

Failure Date: 02/25/2004

Less than one month after work was done to my shift bezel, my clutch failed. Was 3 months over warranty. Tried to go to mediation two times, never recieved a return call. Sent a certified letter, and finally after 8 months, I am being offered a 50% refund on the $1911. 00 I was charged to fix. I have researched online, and this has happened to hundreds of people, some multiple times. Found documentation stating Hyundai is aware of the probelm.
