THIS CAUSES ME 2 DAYS EACH TIME WITH OUT A CAR,ONE TO CHECK IT AND ONE TO BRING BACK TO HAVE IT REPAIRED. I HAVE NOTIFIED MANUFACTURE AND THEY SUPPOSEDLY WILL HAVE A FACTORY REP CHECK THE CAR AND JOE HOLLAND CHEV IS SUPPOSE TO NOTIFY ME WHEN THEY ARE IN TOWN BUT I HAVE NOT HEARD A THING.

MY 2001 HYUNDAI IS A LEMON! EVERYTHING IS BREAKING OR HAS BEEN REPAIRED AT ONE TIME OR ANOTHER. NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE TO STOP THIS INJUSTICE! CURRENTLY MY ODOMETER, SPEEDOMETER, WINDSHIELD WIPERS, AND CRUISE CONTROL HAVE STOPPED WORKING. I HAVE ALREADY HAD THE HEADLIGHTS REPLACED TWICE. TIRES REPLACED. SPEAKERS IN THE CAR REPLACED. DOOR SENSORS REPLACED. SEATBELTS REPLACED. THE PAINT FINISH FAILED AND THE PAINT HAS CHIPPED OFF AND HYUNDAI REFUSES TO CORRECT PROBLEM. EVERY DAY I DRIVE THIS SOMETHING ELSE BREAKS. WHERE IS THE JUSTICE??? I COULD GO ON AND ON WITH PROBLEMS. I PRAY I NEVER GET IN AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE I AM SURE THE AIRBAGS WON'T WORK EITHER!*AK

WHILE TRAVELING ON THE HIGHWAY AND WITHOUT PRIOR WARNING. ALL ELECTRICAL PARTS FAILED, AND TRANSMISSION MALFUNCTIONED. *AK

DEALER HAS CHANGE 3 TIMES THE FRONT WHEEL BEARING DUE TO A CORROSION PROBLEM. *AK

AIR BAG COMPARTMENT IS TORN. CONSUMER STATED THIS PART OF THE VEHICLE IS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. *AK

IN THE 23 MONTHS I HAVE HAD MY CAR I HAVE HAD ALL OF THE FOLLOWING REPLACED: 2 BATTERIES, 3 ALTERNATORS, A FEUL PRESSURE REGULATOR, A GASKET VALVE, A MANIFOLD, A CATALIC CONVERTER, A 3 TRANSMISSIONS (4 IF YOU INCLUDE THE TRANSMISSION THAT WAS IN THE CAR WHEN I BOUGHT IT). I BOUGHT THE CAR WITH 26 MILES ON IT. THE VERY FIRST WEEKEND I HAD THE CAR THE ALTERNATOR AND THE BATTERY BOTH HAD TO BE REPLACED. I HAVE PUT 66,000 MILES ON THIS CAR, BUT AM STILL DEALING WITH ALL THE PROBLEMS BECAUSE THE TRANSMISSION THEY PUT IN THERE A COUPLE WEEKS AGO IS STILL MAKING NOISES. I ALSO HAD TO REPLACE A FAULTY TIRE THAT CAME ON THE CAR, AT FIRST THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME I BENT MY RIM, BUT I TOOK IT ELSEWHERE AND THE TIRE WAS BAD.

MY VEHICLE HAS PROBLEMS WITH THE TIRES, BRAKES AND TRANSMISSION. THE DEALER HAS DONE REPAIRS AND CORRECT TO SOME EXTENT. HOWEVER, MANY ISSUES HAVE NOT BEEN ADDRESSED OR REMEDIED AND NOW THEY REFUSE TO SERVICE THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE. *NLM

THE EMERGENCY BRAKE LIGHT ILLUMINATED AND THE REAR TIRES LOCKED UP, THE DEALER REPLACED THE BRAKE LINE. *JB

ON AUGUST 25F 2002 MY FIANCE' WAS DRIVING MY 2001 HYUNDAI TIBURON WHICH I HAD PURCHASED NEW IN FEBRUARY OF 2002. HE WAS CUT OFF BY A PERSON DRIVING A CHEVY BLAZER. THE ENTIRE FRONT END OF THE TIBURON STRUCK THE TRUCK IN THE REAR PASSENGER'S SIDE DOOR. MY FIANCE' WAS DRIVING APPROXIMATLY 30-35 MILES AN HOUR AT IMPACT. THE TIBURON INCURRED JUST UNDER $6000 IN DAMAGES INCLUDING REPLACING THE TRANSMISSION BECAUSE THE FORCE OF THE IMPACT CRACKED THE TRANSMISSION CASE. I AM FILING THIS COMPLAINT BECAUSE EVEN THOUGH THERE WAS A SIGNIFICANT IMPACT, THE AIRBAGS IN THE TIBURON NEVER INFLATED. THE IMPACT WAS STRONG ENOUGH THAT MY FIANCE SUSTAINED INJURY TO HIS FOREHEAD AND CHEST WHEN THEY STRUCK THE STEERING WHEEL AND THE WINDSHIELD. I FEEL THAT HIS INJURIES WOULD HAVE BEEN PREVENTED BY THE AIRBAG DEPLOYING. I CONTACTED HYUNDAI ASKING THEM TO DO AN INVESTIGATION AND WAS REFUSED TWICE.

CONSUMER CALLED COMPLAINING WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE AT 15MPH HAD AN FRONT COLLISION, AND NEITHER THE AIR BAG DEPLOY. DEALER HAS BEEN NOTIFIED. PLEASE PROVIDE FURTHER INFORMATION. TS
