While driving over speed bump, rear subframe broke due to rust and corrosion causing unstable steering and control.

This vehicle was in a hit-and-run accident on the highway. It hit the wall going 65mph and the airbags did not deploy causing me to have a spinal injury, bruised ribs, a cracked sternum, a concussion, and a fractured metatarsal. after the first collision, the car rolled back and hit the wall a second time which the airbags still did not deploy. It is totaled and in the hands of State Farm.

CLUTCH WENT OUT, I HAVE A MANUAL TRANSMISSION, AND THE CLUTCH WOULD POP OUT OF GEAR THEN JUST WENT OUT. THIS IS NOT DUE TO DRIVER . I WAS DRIVING LUCKILY AT 30MPH WHEN IT WAS LIKE IT HAD NO GEAR SHIFT AT ALL HAD TO PUSH IT TO THE SIDE AND HAVE IT TOWED.

THERE HAVE BEEN MULTIPLE EVENTS, THIS IS THE SECOND INCIDENT OF THIS MALFUNCTION THAT IT IS BEING TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP IN JASPER, ALABAMA. THE FIRST TIME I PRESENTED THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP TO BE DIAGNOSED THE TRANSMISSION WAS RESET AND IT RAN OK FOR A MONTH, IT WAS DURING THIS TRIP I WAS INFORMED THAT SINCE WE WERE THE SECOND OWNER OF THE VEHICLE THE WARRANTY OF 100,000 MILES WOULD NOT BE HONORED. AS I'VE RESEARCHED THIS PROBLEM IT SEEMS TO BE A COMMON OCCURRENCE. I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO BARE THE BRUNT OF A LARGE REPAIR BILL FOR A TRANSMISSION OR NEW COMPUTER BRAIN. SINCE HYUNDAI CLAIMS TO HAVE THE BEST WARRANTY IN AMERICA AS LONG AS YOU ARE THE FIRST OWNER. I DID NOT KNOW ABOUT THIS SITUATION UNTIL I READ THE SMALL PRINT. I WAS ALSO CONCERNED ABOUT THE THREE QUESTIONS THAT ARE ASKED IN SECTION TWO. IT MAKES ME THINK THAT SOMETHING WILL BE DONE ONLY IF SOMEONE IS INJURED OR KILLED! *TR

MY 2007 TIBURON NOW SITS INOPERATIVE NEEDING A REPLACEMENT CLUTCH AT 56,000 MILES. HYUNDAI IS NOT HONORING THEIR 100,000 MILE / 10 YEAR WARRANTY. THEIR RESPONSE IS LET US LOOK AT IT. IF YOU LOOK ON THE INTERNET, MOST PEOPLES' TIBURON'S BEGIN HAVING CLUTCH PROBLEMS EVEN EARLIER THAN MINE. PEOPLE ACROSS THE NATION (MANY, READ COMMENTS ONLINE BY TYPING IN TIBURON CLUTCH PROBLEM). PEOPLE ACROSS THE NATION ARE BEING TOLD THEY DO NOT KNOW HOW TO DRIVE A CLUTCH, AND ALSO MANY PEOPLE SAY AFTER REPLACING THE CLUTCH TO REMOVE THE CLUTCH SLAVE CYLINDER DELAY VALVE AND SPRING AND THE CLUTCH WILL OPERATE BETTER. MANY ONLINE AGREED WITH THAT. I HAVE E-MAILS THAT SHOW MY CONVERSATIONS WITH HYUNDAI IN WHICH HYUNDAI SAYS THEY WILL HONOR THE 1000,000 MILE / 10 YEAR WARRANTY IF THE CLUTCH APPEARS TO HAVE THE WEAR OF A 1 YEAR OLD CLUTCH. NOONE CAN POSSIBLY MEET THAT CONDITION, AND ONLINE YOU WILL SEE HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE TIBURON CLUTCHES FAILING EARLY, AND WITH THE EXCEPTION OF ONE PERSON THE
