#659 of 664 Re: engine overheating [1rose1] by jlflemmons Oct 17, 2008 (10:44 am)
Replying to: 1rose1 (Oct 16, 2008 1:22 pm) You can take it to small claims court. The reason the dealer is pushing back is that the reimbursement rate for warranty work is less than what you will be charged. Under warranty, the engine is supplied and thus the dealer gets no markup. Also, the labor rate under warranty is less than the retail rate.   Have you spoken to Hyundai directly?
#660 of 664 2005 Hyundai Tiburon Infinity System Radio by jeffb1019 Oct 19, 2008 (8:06 am)
When I originally bought this car I couldn't say enough good things about it. I love the growl it makes when you start it up and it handles really well. I have the GT maodel with a V6 207 litre engine. A few months ago the car refused to start, I had it flat bedded to my dealer using their towing service. They determined the problem to be a bad starter due to motor oil getting on it from an oil change performed by a Jiffy Lube type of place. I paid the $300 for a new starter and my wife drove the car home only to complain that the radio is not working. It plays but only at a whisper and the display is blank. Hyundai denies they had anything to do with it and my warranty was 4 months and 1,000 miles past coverage. We are talking about their very expensive Infinity System. After arguing with the dealer until I was angry I called Hyundai America. They seemed much more understanding and offered me a hardship case where they had the dealer remove the radio and send it to be repaired. One month later my dealer called to say the radio was back, I made an appointment and had it reinstalled. It still doesn't work and they sent it out to be repaired again. Hyundai pretends they know nothing about similar radio problems but I have seen a few involving leaks from the sunroof and other issues with other Hyundai models. I am beginning to think I am being lied to and being taken for big bucks. I will not pay Hyundai for a new radio and will not purchase another Hyundai if this does not get resolved soon. I would like to hear from anyone else with Hyundai Radio problems especially the Infinity system with single CD and Tape Cassette deck. I had a feeling that something was wrong when a 2005 car still had a Cassette deck when my 2002 Nissan Xterra had a 6 disc changer in the dash.

My soon is looking at a 2000 tiburon with 107K. 5 speed manual. We have driven it and it seems to drive well, will take it in for a ppi before purchase. Are there any specific problems I should look for or are there concerns from this year or mileage. Thanks for any suggestions you can provide.

Replying to: mb417 (Nov 10, 2008 9:27 am) I am not familiar with the 2000 model Tiburon, I have a 2005 Tiburon GT with V6 and automatic transmission with about 38k miles on it. The car is fun to drive but difficult to see what is going on around you (blind spots). You need to be cautious before making any quick lane changes. The ride is stiff and sporty and handles well.
#663 of 664 re: clutch problems [lngtonge18] by paulyb Nov 14, 2008 (6:35 pm)
Replying to: lngtonge18 (Mar 12, 2005 10:12 pm) I found a solid flywheel and clutch to replace the defective dual mass flywheel and clutch. Its made by Valeo and I got it at dial-a-clutch.com. It lasted 3 years and then I had to replace the clutch again. Better than the original for sure!
#664 of 664 Good Deal for an "08 Tib 4cyl-GS (auto) ? by subzero2 Nov 18, 2008 (8:18 am)
Question from sunny Texas:   Out the door price for 2008 Tib GS (4 cyl auto) quoted at $17,140.00 (TTL included in quote) No cruise control or sunroof on this model, but as long as it has auto tranny, i am happy. Good deal or keep looking?
