Specific symptoms reported on the 2000 Hyundai Tiburon
Recalls 1
Seat belts: front: webbing
- What is wrong
- Vehicle description: passenger vehicles. The driver and front passenger seat belts 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.
- Risk
- If the seat belts are inconvenient to use, the seat occupant may not be inclined to wear the seat belts properly, increasing the risk of injury in the event of a crash.
- Remedy
- Dealers will install a stopper over each front seat belt d-ring guide to assist the seat belt to smoothly extend and retract. Owner notification began december 10, 2001. Owners who take their vehicles to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact hyundai at 1‑800‑633‑5151.

I have issues with my car and the gas tank, charcoal canister and valves. I have had to pay over 1,000.00 to have these fixed twice. I have been getting very sick driving my car and do not feel that it is safe to drive. The fumes come into my car and are very heavy, especially in the heat. I am very concerned for my health and my safety and have almost gone to the hospital. I have had to go on steroids and breathing medications for the issues. I have seen similar complaints by multiple people in regards to the same problems. I would like some help with this and have found that the valve is defective and will often get stuck. Please look into this. Thank you.[xxx]..updated 05/07/15 *bf updated 05/26/15*jb information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
Since day one of my purchase car tank refuses to fill up ever 3 seconds gas pump stops spitting out gas. Est time to fill tank is 15-20 mins. My car has a check engine light for last 2 months auto store test came up gas evap system failure. Last 3 months strong odor of gas has been coming in car with stong gas fumes. Car has been spending more gas than normal since smelling fumes maybe from leak? Car is well maintenance but im worried the problem is only getting worse.
Trying to fill up gas tank, gas pump turns off repeatedly after a gallon or so. Takes about 10 minutes to fill up the car. Tried several things to help, but nothing works. Per online discussions, this has been noted by numerous other tiburon owners.
2000 hyundai tiburon problems with seat belts. Both passenger and driver side seat belts do not function as they are supposed to. The belts get stuck in their harnesses and you can't pull-out or put it back. You have to adjust the harness and the stuck belt to be able to get it to work. The car has already been through one recall on this issue but the repair did not fix the issue. This has been a problem since the first day I bought the car in december 2008.
