3 Tire problem of the 2007 Hyundai Tiburon

Failure Date: 01/21/2009

These are standard tires for the Hyundai Tiburon. One of the tires appears to be defective and loses pressure. The dealership says they can find no leak and added nitrogen to the tires. But still one tire loses more pressure than the others. The dealer will not replace, and doesn't seem to think this should be a problem. I have taken the vehicle in four times for this problem. I called the Hyundai customer service number. They say the tire manufacturer is responsible - even though the tires were on the car I purchased new from Hyundai. I purchased a road hazard policy and an extended warranty. Neither of these covers defective tires. I am afraid to drive with these tires.

The rear tires had an incorrect psi reading. One had a psi of 22 and the other had a psi of 5. One service center dealer determined the recommended psi for road force balanced tires should be 12-15. The dealer determined there was nothing wrong with the tires. The tires were michelin pilot 215/45/r17. Mx4. Dot number: edn0.

7 Tire problem of the 2003 Hyundai Tiburon

Failure Date: 01/21/2004

Vehicle equipt with low profile sports tires. While driving on sr2 in jeruselum township ohio I lost control of the vehicle and began skidding on black ice. Anti-lock brakes did not engage to my knowledge and $9000 damage was done to the vehicle. Rear axle failed during the impact into an embankment which absorbed much of the impact. Side airbag deployed as designed but front did not. I am assuming that this is due to me sliding backwards up the embankment without any direct frontal impact. I walked away from it but am concerned about the fact that Hyundai has marketed this car towards the younger "invinvible" generation who do not realize these tires aren't made for fast driving in bad weather. I am also concerned about why the antilock brakes did not engage. The car is at brown automotive and is still awaiting repair. I have informed the insurance company about the brakes and will follow up with this report when I get word.

8 Tire problem of the 2001 Hyundai Tiburon

Failure Date: 10/15/2003

I have had problems with my Tiburon since I got the car most of the things have been covered by warranty. November 17 2001 the car had 2486 miles on it the alarm started going off while I was driving down the highway. I got it turned off about 20 minutes later and for the next two days the alarm kept going off for no reason. Nov 20 I couldn?t get it to turn off at all so I took it to the dealership. The said a wire shorted out and fixed it at no cost to me. In December of 2002 the drivers side door started sticking and one day I came out of work and it wouldn?t open at all I took it in to the dealer they said the door was falling off and that they replaced a latch at no cost to me. The car was at 17642 miles at this time. The day before my appt for the door I was driving and all the sudden the radio just went off and wouldn?t come on. They had to replace the radio also at no cost to me. January of 03 was when the big problem started with the engine the car wouldn?t start I had it towed to Hyundai they said there was carbon build up on the engine. They cleaned it and gave it back they didn?t find the cause and didn?t explain anything else to me. But at that time the car only had 18704 miles on it. Since then the car has had problems starting I?ve taken it back to the dealer a few times the car died on the road and the check engine light came on I had it towed in they said it was just the spark plugs battery was fine and that the car was due for a tune up which cost me $282. 12 the car was at 27666 miles they also replaced the oxygen sensor that day {11/9/03} at no cost to me. I got the car back {28909 miles}. It still won?t run right and had a hard time starting. I took the car back on 10/21/03. They said that the battery had a bad cell. I didn?t want to pay them for anything but the tech there said if I didn?t they couldn?t look at the car anymore until they ruled out the battery being the problem so I spent $58. 37 on a battery.

The consumer and his wife own the same vehicle which were both equipped with michelin tires as original equipment. The tires had virtually no traction in snowy conditions and as a result the consumer's had to drive very slowly to avoid sliding off the road. The consumer purchased another brand of tire which handle better in the rain but still don't handle well in the snow.
