Owners have filed 76 complaints
about the 2000 Hyundai Tiburon with NHTSA between 2000 and 2020.
The largest single group is the seat belts.
Across this model's run it ranks 6 of 11 worst.
The letter says how bad. This says what kind — whether this year drew
an unusual number of complaints, unusually dangerous
ones, or failures that arrived unusually early.
The dashed ring is 50 — the national norm. Further out is worse.
Complaint volume — 40
Against the median year of the Hyundai Tiburon. 50 means typical for this
model; 100 means roughly double.
Severity — 100
28.9% of these complaints
involved a crash, fire, injury or death, against a national rate of
9.7%.
Early failure — 43
25% of failures with a mileage on record happened under
36,000 miles, against a national rate of
29%.
How 2000 compares with every other Hyundai Tiburon
NHTSA files every complaint against a named sub-assembly, not just a
system. This is the difference between knowing it was "the engine" and
knowing which part of it — the list to hand a mechanic.
Odometer readings owners gave when they filed. About half of all
complaints include one.

When owners complained
A spike years after the car went on sale usually means a part wearing
out on schedule across the whole fleet — the kind of pattern no single
owner can see from inside their own car.

Recalls on the 2000 Hyundai Tiburon
A complaint is one owner's allegation. A recall is the point at which
the manufacturer or a regulator agreed the defect is real and dangerous
enough to fix for free — however old the car is.
Canada — Transport Canada
Canada runs its own recall programme, and its campaigns do not
always mirror the American ones.
Recall 200126010,048 units in Canada
Seats And Restraints
Certain vehicles are equipped with driver and front passenger seat belts that may not extend and retract smoothly through the D-ring guides mounted on the body pillars aft of the doors. If the seat belts do not extend and retract smoothly, they may twist in the D-ring guides and make it inconvenient to extend and retract the seat belts. Correction: Dealers will install D-ring guide stoppers.
Recall 1999223486 units in Canada
Lights And Instruments
Certain vehicles do not comply with the requirements of CMVSS 108 - Lighting System and Retroreflective Devices. The Daytime Running Light system does not turn off when the headlight switch is turned on. Correction: A Daytime Running Light wiring kit will be installed in affected vehicles.

TIRES
BOUGHT BF GOODRICH TIRES FROM WALMART. 195/55R 84V TRACT TIRES IN JUNE 2006. ABOUT 5 DAYS AGO I WAS CHECKING MY TIRE PRESSURE AND FOUND A LARGE BLISTER/BUBBLE ON THE SIDE OF THE TIRE WALL. APPROXIMATELY 3 1/2 INCHES LONG OBLONG AND ABOUT 3 INCHES WIDTH. I TOOK MY CAR TO WALMART IN RAVENNA OHIO 44266 WHERE I BOUGHT THE TIRES. THEY MEASURED THE TIRE WIDTH AND CHECKED THE CAR MILES AND SAID THEY WOULD ORDER NEW TIRES. I ALSO ONLY GOT 24000 MILES ON THE TIRE AND THEY ARE 60,000 MILE TIRES. AT FIRST THE GIRL TOLD ME I WOULD HAVE TO PAY HALF THE COST OF THE ORIGINAL TIRE TO REPLACE THEM. SHE ALSO TOLD ME TO CALL BACK IN AN HOUR OR SO WHEN HER MANAGER CAME BACK FROM LUNCH, BECAUSE SHE WASN'T ABLE TO INPUT THE INFORMATION FOR ORDERING, THAT SHE DIDN'T KNOW HOW TO DO IT. WHEN I CALLED BACK SHE MADE ALL KINDS OF EXCUSES. WE CANT ORDER THEM BECAUSE THE MANAGER DIDN'T SEE THE CAR AND HE HAS TO CHECK THE MILES AND TREAD DEPTH. I SAID I HAVE A PRINT OUT OF THAT AND YOU ALREADY DID IT, THEN SHE SAID WELL WE MAY NOT BE PRORATING THE TIRES BECAUSE WE DON'T KNOW IF YOU KEPT UP ON THE MAINTENANCE OF THE TIRES. I SAID WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT. SHE SAID ROTATING THE TIRES AND KEEPING THEM IN ALIGNMENT. I HUNG UP ANGRY AND AM REPORTING THEM TO YOU. I HAVE A TIRE PROTECTION PLAN ALSO THAT I PURCHASED WHEN I BOUGHT THE TIRES. I SHOWED ALL THE PAPER WORK TO THE GIRL WHEN I BROUGHT THE CAR IN FOR THEM TO LOOK AT IT. THE MECHANIC IS THE ONE WHO CHECKED THE TIRE TREAD AND THE MILES PERSONALLY.
