ALMOST RIGHT AFTER PURCHASING THE VEHICLE, I STARTED EXPERIENCING ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS. THE ALARM SYSTEM WOULD RANDOMLY GO OFF AND SOMETIMES EVEN LOCK THE DOORS OF THE CAR ON IT'S OWN. WHETHER THE CAR WAS RUNNING OR NOT, WINDOWS OPEN OR SHUT, DID NOT MATTER. LATER THE WINDSHIELD WIPER MOTOR BURNED OUT SO ONLY THE FASTEST SETTING WORKS AND ONLY WHEN I HOLD THE KNOB UP FOR THE ONE TIME WIPE. THE WINDOW MOTOR WENT OUT ON THE PASSENGER SIDE AS WELL. IF YOU WERE TO SLAM OR HIT THE DOOR, THE WINDOW WILL ROLL DOWN, BUT NOT BACK UP UNLESS YOU PULL VERY HARD ON IT TO GET IT GOING. THE POWER STEERING HAS ALSO BEGAN TO GO OUT. THERE ARE TIMES WHEN IT WILL NOT STOP SQUEALING WHILE I TURN THE WHEEL AND IT IS ALMOST PULSING SO I CAN ONLY TURN THE WHEEL IN TINY INCREMENTS AT A TIME. THE STEERING SQUEAKS THE MOST WHEN THE WHEEL IS TURNED ALL THE WAY.

VISIBILITY:POWER WINDOW DEVICES AND CONTROLS
ON JULY 04 2003, WE PURCHASED A 2003 NEW HYUNDAI TIBURON FROM PHILPOTT MOTORS IN NEDERLAND. THE VIN[XXX]. IT STARTED ON DEC 19, 20031 WHEN THE PASSENGER WINDOW MOTOR HAD TO BE REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY. THEN, ON DEC. 22, 20031 THE VEHICLE HAD A COOLANT LEAK THAT WAS REPAIRED UNDER WARRANTY. ON FEBRUARY 16, 2004 THE CLUTCH WENT OUT ALL OF A SUDDEN WITH ANY WARNING. TO APRIL OF 2003. IN WHICH ALL THE PARTS THEY REPLACED HAVE A PRODUCTION DATE OF APRIL 2003. IN AUGUST OF 2004 SEVEN MONTHS LATER THE CLUTCH WENT OUT AGAIN ON IH10 DURING NOON TRAFFIC THEY WOULD NOT COVER IT. THE MECHANIC AT TRANSMISSION EXCHANGE TOLD HIM THAT WAS NOT THE CASE AND THAT HE STATED THAT THE SLAVE CYLINDER WAS PROBABLY BENT PRIOR TO THEIR REPAIRS SIX MONTHS AGO. MY COMPLAINT TO PHILPOTT THAT IF THEY AGREED TO COVER THE SLAVE CYLINDER WHY WOULD THEY NOT COVER ALL THE CHARGES DUE TO THE FACT THIS IS A PULL/PUSH AND IF THE SALVE CYLINDER WAS BENT THAT IT WOULD CAUSE THIS TYPE OF DAMAGE TO THE CLUTCH. THEY REFUSED TO COVER IT COSTING $1,920.85. ON SEPTEMBER 16, 2005 THE BATTERY WENT OUT. . IN AUGUST OF 2005 THE BATTERY WENT OUT AGAIN. ON THE LAST WEEK OF AUGUST MY DAUGHTER BROUGHT THE VEHICLE TO BE SERVICED AND ASKED WHY THE AIR BAG LIGHT WAS ON AND THE TECHNICIAN TOLD HER THE CAR WAS FINE THAT HE DID NOT NOTE ANY PROBLEMS AND THAT THE LIGHT WAS ON BECAUSE IT WAS TELLING HER THAT EVERYTHING WAS WORKING. ON SEPTEMBER 05, THE CLUTCH STARTED SLIPPING AGAIN AND WE HAVE PARKED THE VEHICLE. EVERYONE HAS BEEN TOLD THE EXACT LINE. IT WAS THE DRIVER AND IT'S A WEAR AND TEAR ITEM. LIKE THE DEALERS HAVE BEEN TOLD WHAT UPDATE: THE HYUNDAI REP STATED THAT THERE WAS NOT ANY ABNORMAL WEAR ON MY CLUTCH THAT THE FLYWHEEL WAS THE PROBLEM AND THAT WE WOULD HAVE TO PAY TO HAVE IT FIXED BECAUSE, THE FLYWHEEL IS NOT COVERED UNDER THE WARRANTY. *JB UPDATED 07/18/2012 *JS INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

SINCE WE PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE NEW WE HAVE REPLACED THE BATTERY TWICE, THE CLUTCH, FLY WHEEL, SLAVE CYLINDER,THREE TIMES, A COOLANT LEAK FIXED, THE WINDOW MOTOR AND IT IS CURRENTLY AT THE REPAIR SHOP. WE ALSO HAVE HAD TO REPLACE ALL FOUR TIRES AND HAVE THE VEHICLE ALIGNED. THE AIR BAG LIGHT IS ALSO ON AT THIS TIME. THE THING THAT MAKES ME ANGRY IS THAT A SERVICE TECHNICIAN HAS SEEN OR VEHICLE TWICE AND SAID OUR VEHICLE WAS FINE. SO, WHY DID THE CLUTCH GO OUT 10 DAYS LATER?

VISIBILITY:REAR WINDOW WIPER/WASHER:MOTOR
IT SEEMS ONLY A FEW DAYS AFTER I BOUGHT MY TIBURON I HAVE BEEN HAVING PROBLEMS WITH MY REAR WIPER. THE FIRST TIME IT WAS GRINDING AND MAKING NOISE/MOTOR. TOOK IT IN TO DEALERSHIP (VAN DYNHOVEN IN APPLETON, WI) OF COURSE THEY COULD NOT VERIFY THE PROBLEM. A FEW MONTHS LATER DURING COLD WEATHER IT WOULD JUST STOP WORKING AND YOU COULD SEE IT WAS STRUGGLING. SHUT IT OFF 10 MIN LATER WOULD BE WORKING AGAIN. (OBVIOUS MOTOR PROBLEM). TOOK IT IN TO DEALERSHIP, AGAIN COULD NOT VERIFY. IT CONTINUED HAPPENING DURING COLDER WEATHER, MUST HAVE TAKEN IN AT LEAST 3 TIMES. THEY COULD NEVER VERIFY. I WORK FOR A GM DEALERSHIP AND AFTER ONLY READING THE COMPLAINT I HAVE WRITTEN I WOULD ALREADY KNOW WHAT THE PROBLEM IS AND REPLACED THE PART. HYUNDAI CANT TELL ME THAT THEY ARE NOT HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THESE REAR WIPERS, BECAUSE THE NEW 2005'S DONT EVEN HAVE A REAR WIPER ANYMORE. APPARENTLY HYUNDAI DOESNT HAVE CUSTOMER SURVEYS LIKE GM, I NEVER GOT ONE, IF I DID THAT DEALERSHIP WOULD GET A BAD MARK. I AM NOW CONSIDERING BUYING A SUBARU-IMPREZA AND TRADING MY TIBBY IN. OF COURSE AT A DIFFERENT DEALER.
