Clutch recall, powertrain recall, master cylinder recall, slave cylinder recall. When driving my car after a week of purchasing the car I pushed the clutch pedal to the floor to shift, and the pedal did not come back up. After several attempts to bring it back up to shift it finally came back. When shifting again the car died instantly, and after the car was off I could shift to any gears. When turning the car back on in neutral the car turned on, but would not shift to first it would push itself forward and die. Trying to start the car in first would take off but you could only put it back to neutral. After taking it to several mechanics I changed the slave and master cylinder, and nothing happened. To my surprise the clutch and dual mass flywheel, clutch, shift fork was completely destroyed. This is a common problem and they won't do anything about it.

Purchased a brand new 2004 hyundai tiburon gt and just had the fourth powertrain, clutch, flywheel, etc installed today due to 3 failures in 90,000 miles. The last one that was put in was in february 2010 and failed this time november 26, 2010, not even lasting a full year. Each time, I have been given the run-around and no one has taken time to issue a recall or anything, even with the hundreds of similar complaints that have been filed already. I am almost out of my warranty and am scared that I will be out thousands of dollars when it fails again. Someone please help!!! Thank you!

My 2004 hyundai tiburon has an ailing clutch problem that I've learned is very common among other owners. The other morning I was leaving for work and as I began to pull out onto the main street, my car (while in gear) slipped and the rpms revved as I sat crossing the two lanes of traffic! Was not a fun time. This is not the first time the car has put me into a uncomfortable scenario. Keep in mind the car has 40,000miles.
