2004 HYUNDAI TIBURON

CLUTCH RECALL, POWERTRAIN RECALL, MASTER CYLINDER RECALL, SLAVE CYLINDER RECALL. WHEN DRIVING MY CAR AFTER A WEEK OF PURCHASING THE CAR I PUSHED THE CLUTCH PEDAL TO THE FLOOR TO SHIFT, AND THE PEDAL DID NOT COME BACK UP. AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS TO BRING IT BACK UP TO SHIFT IT FINALLY CAME BACK. WHEN SHIFTING AGAIN THE CAR DIED INSTANTLY, AND AFTER THE CAR WAS OFF I COULD SHIFT TO ANY GEARS. WHEN TURNING THE CAR BACK ON IN NEUTRAL THE CAR TURNED ON, BUT WOULD NOT SHIFT TO FIRST IT WOULD PUSH ITSELF FORWARD AND DIE. TRYING TO START THE CAR IN FIRST WOULD TAKE OFF BUT YOU COULD ONLY PUT IT BACK TO NEUTRAL. AFTER TAKING IT TO SEVERAL MECHANICS I CHANGED THE SLAVE AND MASTER CYLINDER, AND NOTHING HAPPENED. TO MY SURPRISE THE CLUTCH AND DUAL MASS FLYWHEEL, CLUTCH, SHIFT FORK WAS COMPLETELY DESTROYED. THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM AND THEY WON'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT.

MY WIFE WAS IN A REAR END ACCIDENT AT APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH, AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY, AIR BAG LIGHT IS ON. MY WIFE GOT WHIPLASH FROM THE ACCIDENT. READING SIMILAR COMPLAINTS, I'M ALMOST GLAD THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY BECAUSE HER INJURY COULD HAVE BEEN WORSE. HYUNDAI NEEDS TO FIX THE ISSUE WITH THEIR AIR BAGS IMMEDIATELY.

THIS IS THE THIRD TIME I HAVE HAD A BRAKE LINE REPLACED BECAUSE ACCORDING TO MY MECHANIC, THE POOR DESIGN ALLOWS FOR THE BRAKE LINE TO RUB AGAINST THE SHOCK WHICH EVENTUALLY WEARS A HOLE THROUGH THE BRAKE LINE. I'VE HAD THREE SEPARATE INCIDENTS WHERE MY BRAKE PEDAL HAS GONE COMPLETELY TO THE FLOOR. I'VE HAD TO USE MY EMERGENCY HAND BRAKE TO KEEP ME FROM CRASHING IN EACH INSTANCE. I WORK IN THE QUALITY FIELD AND TRULY UNDERSTAND DEFECT IN DESIGN OVER WEAR AND TEAR. BRAKE LINES SHOULDN'T HAVE TO BE REPLACED EVERY YEAR BECAUSE OF DEFECTIVE DESIGN. I AM SURE THERE HAVE EVEN SERIOUS ACCIDENTS AND PERHAPS I JURIES AND FATALITIES BECAUSE OF THIS DESIGN. AGAIN, I WORK IN TOY SAFETY AND QUALITY AND UNDERSTAND THAT ALTHOUGH A PRODUCT MIGHT COMPLY WITH EXISTING REGULATIONS, STILL BE A HAZARD TO A USER. *TR
