CLUTCH FAILS TO DISENGAGE. THIS IS MOST DANGEROUS WHEN VEHICLE IS PARKED IN GEAR(AS WHEN PARKED ON A HILL WITH THE REAR OF THE FRONT WHEELS TURNED TO CURB, AND AN ATTEMPT IS MADE TO START VEHICLE BY PUSHING CLUTCH PEDAL DOWN AND ACTIVATING IGNITION, THE VEHICLE MAY START WITH CLUTCH ENGAGED, AND PROPEL THE VEHICLE INTO STREET AND INTO TH E LANE WHERE TRAFFIC IS APPROACHING FROM BEHIND, AND THEREFORE OUT OF SIGHT. OTHER DANGEROUS SITUATIONS ARE ATTEMPTS ARE MADE TO START VEHICLE ARE MADE IN CROWDED PARKING LOTS WHERE PEDESTRIANS MIGHT BE WALKING BEHIND CAR, AND VEHICLE IS PROPELLED REARWARD. ADDITIONALLY, IF ATTEMPTS ARE MADE TO STOP QUICKLY AS WHEN A CAR PU;LLS OUT IN FRONT OF YOU AS IN AN INTERSECTION, THE CLUTCH MIGHT NOT DISENGAGE, AND THE INERTIAL POWER OF THE ENGINE MIGHT OVERPOWER THE BRAKES, AND VEHICLE WILL CONTINUE FORWARD UNTIL ENGINE POWER IS OVERCOME BY BRAKE POWER INCIDENT EACH OF THESE SITUATIONS HAS HAPPENED TO ME, BUT I HAVE MANAGED, SO FAR, TO AVOID THE SUGGESTED RESULTS.
MY TIBURON WAS FINE A FEW DAYS AGO BUT RECENTLY STARTED GIVING ME PROBLEMS WHEN SHIFTING GEARS WHILE THE CAR IS IN MOTION OR SHIFTING INTO REVERSE WHILE THE CAR IS STOPPED. I DID SOME RESEARCH AND FOUND THAT THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE WITH THESE CARS AND THAT IT SEEMS TO BE A FAULTY MODEL OF CLUTCH. ACCORDING TO MY RESEARCH THIS IS SOMETHING THAT IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND HAS NOT YET BEEN BROUGHT UP BY HYUNDAI FOR A FACTORY RECALL

I BOUGHT THE CAR AND LOOKED AT THE VEHICLE REPAIR RECORDS AND THE CLUTCH HAD BEEN REPLACED ABOUT 12000 MILES AGO AND I CAN PUSH THE CLUTCH IN AND IT IS SLIPPING HORRIBLE, I CAN PUSH THE CLUTCH ALL THE WAY DOWN AND IT WILL SLIP AND GRIND EVERY GEAR AS IF I'M TRYING TO SHIFT WITHOUT THE CLUTCH. I EVEN STOPPED DOWNSHIFTING BECAUSE IT WOULDN'T GO INTO GEAR WITHOUT HORRIBLY GRINDING! I GET SO WORRIED ABOUT IT SOMETIMES, THAT I ALMOST WRECK TRYING TO KEEP MY CAR IN GEAR WITHOUT BREAKING THE TRANS, IT IS LIKE LEARNING HOW TO DRIVE A MANUAL CAR AGAIN AND I HAVE DRIVEN ONE FOR A LONG TIME NOW. *TR
I'M FROM ARKANSAS CITY KANSAS. I WAS DRIVING IN WICHITA KS ON MY WAY BACK HOME. I WAS DRIVING ABOUT 55MPH. WHEN I ENGAGED MY CLUTCHED TO GO INTO THE NEXT GEAR NOTHING HAPPENED. THE TRANSMISSION SEEMED TO GO INTO GEAR BUT THE CAR WOULDN'T MOVE. I SLOWED DOWN AND STOPPED ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. I PUT IT INTO FIRST GEAR AND TRIED TO DRIVE. THE CAR MOVED NOWHERE. I WASN'T SURE WHAT HAPPENED SO I TOWED IT BACK HOME. I LOOKED ONLINE EVERYWHERE TO FIND NOTHING THAT RELATED TO MY PROBLEM. MY CAR STILL WONT MOVE AND I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT IS WRONG WITH IT. *TR

BRAND NEW CAR AND ENGINE WENT OUT. DEALER SAID I DIDN'T HAVE THE OIL CHANGED WHICH CAUSED CRITICAL FAILURE WITH ENGINE. AFTER ALMOST 2 YEARS FIGHTING WITH DEALER I GAVE UP. I SAVED 5K TO HAVE A NEW ENGINE INSTALLED WITH AN OUTSIDE DEALER WITH THE SAME YEAR MAKE AND MILEAGE. TODAY CAR IS OVERHEATING AND ACTING LIKE THE ORIGINAL ENGINE I HAD.

APPROXIMATELY ONE MONTH AFTER PURCHASING THIS CAR NEW (AND LESS THAN 1000 MILES ON ODOMETER), I STARTED EXPERIENCING SLIPPING IN THE CLUTCH WITH SEVERE LACK OF ACCELERATION. THE DEALER REPLACED THE CLUTCH AND FLYWHEEL UNDER WARRANTY, AND STATE AT THAT TIME THAT THE HAD ALREADY PERFORMED SIMILAR REPAIRS ON THAT MAKE/MODEL. NOW IN AUGUST, 2012, (65,000 MILES) THE CAR HAS HAD A SIMILAR PROBLEM REQUIRING REPLACEMENT OF THE CLUTCH AND FLYWHEEL. EXTREME LACK OF ACCELERATION HAD MADE THE CAR UNSAFE ON A CITY STREET, LET ALONE ON A FREEWAY. THE MECHANIC HAS STATED THAT HE HAS NEVER SEEN A FLYWHEEL SCORCHED THIS BADLY. I HAVE BEEN DRIVING STANDARD TRANSMISSION CARS FOR 30 YEARS, AND HAVE NEVER HAD A TRANSMISSION PROBLEM. *TR
I HAVE A 2006 HYUNDAI, TIBURON GT WITH THE 2.7 LITRE V-6 AND 5 SPEED MANUAL TRANSMISSION. AFTER SHIFTING FROM 1ST TO 2ND GEAR, THE CAR JERKS (LIKE WHEN YOU 1ST LEARN TO DRIVE A MANUAL) ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS I HAVE CAME VERY CLOSE TO BEING REAR ENDED WHEN THIS HAPPENS!!! AND SOMETIMES IT WONT COME OUT OF 1ST GEAR WHEN CAR IS STOPPED/PARKED, YOU HAVE TO SHUT THE CAR OFF PUT IT IN NEUTRAL THEN IT WILL GO INTO WHATEVER GEAR YOU WANT. *TR

AFTER A COUPLE MONTHS OF OWNING MY VEHICLE, MY CLUTCH WENT OUT. I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALER AND THEY TOLD ME THAT IT WAS THE WAY I WAS DRIVING AND THAT THE CLUTCH WOULD NOT BE COVERED IN THE WARRANTY BECAUSE IT WAS A WEAR AND TEAR ISSUE AND NOT A MANUFACTURING DEFECT. SO I HAD TO PAY TO GET A NEW CLUTCH AND FLYWHEEL INSTALLED. NOW AFTER ABOUT 5 YEARS, MY CLUTCH WENT OUT AGAIN. AFTER THIS TIME HOWEVER, I DECIDED TO DO SOME RESEARCH AND WAS APPALLED AT HOW THIS PROBLEM HAS AFFECTED SO MANY PEOPLE. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE ABOUT THIS. *TR
AFTER I SHIFTED FROM 1ST TO 2ND GEAR, I TRIED TO ACCELERATE BUT THE CLUTCH SLIPPED. WHEN I COMPLETELY TOOK MY FOOT OFF THE ACCELERATOR I FELT AND HEARD A MILD CLUNK AS IT WAS FINALLY ENGAGED. THE RPMS WERE AT ABOUT 2000 AND I WAS ONLY TRAVELING 5 MPH WHEN THIS FIRST OCCURRED. I CONTINUED TO SHIFT THROUGH THE GEARS WITH THE SAME SYMPTOMS. ONCE ENGAGED AFTER A WHILE, IN EACH GEAR, I PRESSED DOWN ON THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL APPROXIMATELY HALFWAY TO SEE WHAT IT WOULD DO. THE RPMS SHOT UP AND NO POWER GOT TO THE WHEELS. THE CLUTCH SLIPPED IMMEDIATELY. I COULD NOT MAINTAIN SPEED GOING UP SOME HILLS WITHOUT THE CLUTCH SLIPPING. I AM LOOKING IN MY REAR VIEW MIRROR TO MAKE SURE I DON'T GET HIT FROM BEHIND. THIS HAPPENS EVERY DAY BUT NOT CONSISTENTLY. I HAVE TO SHIFT AT A MAXIMUM 2,500 RPM FOR IT TO NOT SLIP. I DON'T BELIEVE THE VEHICLE COULD MAINTAIN ANY SPEED ABOVE 50 MPH WITHOUT THE CLUTCH SLIPPING. THERE IS A PROGRESSIVE GROANING SINCE THIS FIRST STARTED. I CAN FEEL IT IN THE PEDALS AND STEERING WHEEL AS WELL. NOTHING IS DRAGGING AND THE FLUID LEVEL IS AT MANUFACTURER'S RECOMMENDATIONS. I HAVE BEEN DRIVING MANUAL TRANSMISSIONS FOR OVER 26 YEARS, IMPORTS AND DOMESTIC. I NEVER HAD A CLUTCH FAIL BEFORE 150,000 MILES. THERE ARE THREE WAYS TO AVOID AN ACCIDENT; HIT THE BRAKES TO AVOID, STEER TO AVOID, AND ACCELERATE TO AVOID. I HAVE LOST 33% OF MY CAPABILITY TO AVOID AN ACCIDENT DUE TO PRE-MATURE FAILURE OF THE CLUTCH. THE OWNER'S MANUAL STATES "IDEALLY, CORNERS SHOULD ALWAYS BE TAKEN WITH GENTLE ACCELERATION." THIS IS CURRENTLY IMPOSSIBLE BECAUSE THE CLUTCH SLIPS WHEN I TRY TO DRIVE THAT WAY, ON BOTH LEFT AND RIGHT HAND TURNS. *TR
I HAVE A 2006 HYUNDAI, TIBURON GT WITH THE 2.7 LITRE V-6 AND 5 SPEED MANUAL TRANSMISSION. I HAVE HAD A RECENT PROBLEM WITH THE CLUTCH SLIPPING. I HAVE LOOKED ON LINE AND READ ABOUT THE PROBLEMS WITH THIS ISSUE. BEFORE I BOUGHT THE CAR (NEW IN 2006) I READ ABOUT THE CLUTCH ISSUES ON LINE AND THOUGHT THAT WITH THE CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT SETTLED, THAT THE ISSUE WAS RESOLVED FROM THE EARLIER MODEL YEARS. WHEN YOU GET SOME RPMS ON THE VEHICLE (ABOUT 4000), AND JUST BEFORE YOU UP-SHIFT THE CLUTCH STARTS SLIPPING. THE CAR HAS ALSO STARTED GRABBING AND SLIPPING FROM A STANDSTILL. I GUESS I HAVE BEEN LUCKY, I HAVE BEEN DRIVING MINE SINCE MAY OF 2006 WITH VERY LITTLE TO COMPLAIN ABOUT. *TR

I WAS IN FAIRLY HEAVY TRAFFIC TRAVELING 65-70 MPH AND ANOTHER CAR SWERVED IN FRONT AFTER PASSING ME (ON THE RIGHT) AND WHEN I WENT TO APPLY BRAKES THEY WENT TO THE FLOOR AND THE CAR STARTED TO ACCELERATE. I AGAIN APPLIED BRAKES AND NOT ONLY DID THEY NOT WORK THEY ALSO DIDN'T DISENGAGE THE CRUISE CONTROL. I STARTED TO PANIC AND APPLIED THE CLUTCH AND TRIED TO DOWNSHIFT. I HAD SECONDS TO RESPOND AND A GAP IN TRAFFIC BEHIND ME SO I NEEDED TO GET OVER TO RIGHT SHOULDER AS QUICK AS POSSIBLE (I WAS IN THE LEFT LANE) I PUT THE CAR IN NEUTRAL AND STARTED TO APPLY THE HAND-BRAKE SLOWLY AT FIRST. AS I ENTERED THE RIGHT LANE AND NEARED THE SHOULDER (OUT OF TRAFFIC) I APPLIED THE HAND BRAKE AS HARD AS I COULD AND SIMULTANEOUSLY TURNED OFF THE IGNITION WHEN THE CAR HAD SLOWED ENOUGH. I SHOULD ALSO MENTION THAT UPON COMING TO A STOP THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS SOLID AND STAYED ON EVEN AFTER SHUTTING DOWN AND RESTARTING THE CAR. IT REMAINED ON UNTIL I GOT THE CAR TO THE NEAREST DEALER. I'M OK AND IT COULD HAVE BEEN MUCH WORSE (NO DAMAGE TO ME OR CAR) BUT THE DEALER WHO SERVICED THE CAR TOLD ME THEY CONFIRMED THAT THE COMPUTER WAS SENDING ERRONEOUS CODES TO MULTIPLE 'SYSTEMS' AT ONCE. I HAVE THEIR REPORT AND THE DOCUMENTATION ON THE SOFTWARE UPDATE THEY APPLIED TO THE CAR'S COMPUTER. THEY DIDN'T REPLACE THE COMPUTER JUST THE SOFTWARE! THIS COULD HAVE BEEN MUCH WORSE IN ANOTHER SITUATION. IT WAS SCARY AS HELL AND I'M STILL SOMEWHAT SHAKEN. I'D RATHER BE PROACTIVE ABOUT BRINGING ATTENTION TO THIS THAN IGNORING THE INCIDENT AND THE FACT REMAINS THAT I HAVE NO IDEA IF THE NEW SOFTWARE PATCH THAT THE DEALER APPLIED TO THE COMPUTER IS ABLE TO PROTECT MY SAFETY. *TR

MY CLUTCH WENT OUT OF MY CAR AFTER THIRTY FIVE THOUSAND MILES. I UNDERSTAND THAT IT IS A WEAR ITEM BUT I KNOW HOW TO DRIVE STICK AND THAT IS WAY TO SOON FOR IT TO GO OUT. NOW IT HAS BEEN ANOTHER THIRTY FIVE THOUSAND MILES AND IT IS GOING OUT AGAIN. I TALKED TO OTHERS WHO HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THE 2006 HYUNDAI TIBURON. WHEN THE CLUTCH WENT OUT IT WAS FINE ONE DAY AND GRABBING AT THE FLOOR THE NEXT IT DIDN'T GET PROGRESSIVELY BAD. OTHER TIBURON OWNERS WERE ONLY GETTING TWENTY FIVE THOUSAND MILES OUT OF THEIR CLUTCHES, SO CLEARLY THIS IS A HUGE PROBLEM. *TR

1. THE 2006 HYUNDAI TIBURON SE THAT I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER OF HAS BEEN DRIVEN ALMOST DAILY TO AND FROM WORK.

I PURCHASED A NEW 2006 HYUNDAI TIBURON IN FEBRUARY 2006. I HAVE HAD AN ALIGNMENT PROBLEM EVER SINCE I BOUGHT IT. MY CAR HAS ALWAYS PULLED RIGHT.

WAS DRIVING EAST ON I-70 CAR STARTED SHAKING AND HEARD A LOW ROAR. THOUGHT IT WAS THE ROAD. I GOT OFF EXIT 124 I BELIEVE AND CHECKED TIRES. ALL LOOKED NORMAL.. CHECKED TIRED PRESSURES ALL WAS 32 OR 34 PSI. I THOUGH MAYBE IT WAS THE ROAD SO I CONTINUED TO EXIT 126EAST ON I 70 GOT OFF EXIT BECAUSE I HEARD THE SAME NOISE. I THEN DROVE THE CAR AROUND THE TRUCKSTOP AND LISTENED TO THE TIRES.. REAR PASSENGER WAS MAKING A HORRIBLE NOISE SO I DECIDED TO TURN BACK AROUND AND COME BACK HOME EVEN THOUGH THE TIRES LOOKED FINE. I PULLED OUT OF THE TRUCK STOP AND OVER THE BRIDGE TO GO WEST ON I-70 HEADING ABOUT 20MPH AND HEARD A LOUD POP. THE TIRE BLEW OUT.. CONTINUED OVER THE BRIDGE TO THE PILOT TRUCK STOP AND NOTICED THERE WAS STILL AIR IN THE TIRE.. I PROCEEDED TO TAKE THE TIRE OFF AND FOUND THAT THE INSIDE OF THE TIRE SPLIT AT THE SEAM. THESE TIRES ARE DANGEROUS!!! THE ENTIRE SIDE BLEW OUT.. BUT THERE IS STILL AIR IN THEM.. FIRESTONE SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED TO MAKE TIRES ANYMORE.. IF I WOULD HAVE BEEN GOING 65MPH I WOULD PROBABLY BE DEAD. FIRESTONE 215/45R17 POTENZA. *TR
I OWN A 2006 HYUNDAI TIBERON BOUGHT IT BRAND NEW IT HAS 22,000 MILES ON IT AND THE CLUTCH AND FLYWHEEL ARE SHOT. I'VE BEEN DRIVING STANDARD FOR 13 YEARS AND HAVE NEVER HAD A PROBLEM WITH A CLUTCH. I'M VERY DISAPPOINTED IN HYUNDAI FOR NOT REPLACING A BUMPER TO BUMPER WARRANTY WHICH I HAVE. A CAR THAT I'VE HAD FOR 2 YEARS SHOULDN'T HAVE 2300 DOLLARS OF WORK AND IF IT DOES IT SHOULD BE UNDER WARRANTY. AND I AM SHOCKED TO SEE THE NUMBER OF HYUNDAI'S WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. HOPEFULLY SOMETHING IS DONE ABOUT THIS MATTER . *TR

2006 HYUNDAI TIBURON SEEMS LIKE A HIGH PERFORMANCE SPORTS CAR. AND IT LOOKS SLICK, BUT SOMETHING ABOUT ITS MANUAL CLUTCH, FLY WHEEL, MASTER CYLINDER, PRESSER PLATE, ALL THAT AND MORE. MAKES THIS 06 TIBBY A PEACE OF BAD ENGINEERING GARBAGE! I BOUGHT THIS CAR JAN 9 2007 WITH 3333 MILES ON IT ON JULY 24 2007 WITH 14,687 "I HAD TO PAY" 1,865.25 DOLLARS TO REPLACE THE MESH FLYWHEEL, PRESSER PLATE, AND CLUTCH IN MY BRAND NEW 2006 HYUNDAI TIBURON! THIS IS CRAZY, THE FACTOR, HYUNDAI, CAR MAX, OR MY EXTENDED WARRANTY WOULDN'T COVER THIS! HERE I AM AGAIN OCT. 26 2008 WITH 44,000 MILES MY TIBBY IS IN THE SHOP AGAIN. THIS TIME ITS THE MASTER CYLINDER, AS OFTEN AS I KEEP SEEING THIS HAPPEN TO OTHER OWNERS, OF THE 2006 HYUNDAI TIBURON I KNOW ITS NOT JUST ME OR MY CAR ALONE, ITS A BIG PROBLEM WITH EVERY OWNER! IF SOMETHING ISN'T DONE ABOUT THIS, THEN MY FELLOW 06 HYUNDAI TIBURON OWNERS, MY LAWYER WITH DATES AND COPIES OF REPAIR RECEIPT JUST WAITING FOR MY Q TO FILE SOMETHING ON HYUNDAI, AND I WILL TRY TO HAVE THIS PROBLEM TAKEN CARE OF BECAUSE OF UNTIL NOW NOBODY HAS! HYUNDAI SHOULD NOT WANT PPL TELLING OTHER PPL NOT TO GET A HYUNDAI BECAUSE THEY BUILD BAD VEHICLES SHOULD THEY? THAT'S BAD BUSINESS ALL AROUND! *TR
DRIVING WEST BOUND ON INTERSTATE 10 FWY APPROXIMATE TIME 2:30A.M. I HAD A TIRE BLOWOUT. THE BLOWOUT IN TURN MADE ME LOSE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AND I WENT INTO A SPIN CAUSING ME TO CRASH INTO A POST ON THE SIDE OF THE FWY. UPON CRASHING INTO THE POST MY HEAD HIT THE STEERING WHEEL AT WHICH TIME THE AIRBAG DID NOT DEPLOY. I HAVE NEVER HAD AN ACCIDENT IN THIS CAR BEFORE, MY ASSUMPTION WAS THAT THE AIRBAG FUNCTIONED. THE AIRBAG FEATURE IN MY CAR PROVED TO BE TOTALLY NON-FUNCTIONAL. *TR
