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.

I was stopped in the passing lane at a construction site on route 95 in ri.the vehicle in back of me failed to stop and crashed into the rear of my vehicle.the reclining mechanism on the driver's seat failed which resulted in me being thrown into the back seat causing a back injury.the impact from behind caused my vehicle to crash into the vehicle in front of me, neither airbag went off.my vehicle had extensive damage to both front and rear, the vehicle was a total loss.do you have any information on reclining seats failing due to rear impact?i would appreciate any information that you could provide.

I have had problems with my tiburon since i got the car most of the things have been covered by warranty.november 17 2001 the car had 2486 miles on it the alarm started going off while i was driving down the highway. I got it turned off about 20 minutes later and for the next two days the alarm kept going off for no reason. Nov 20 i couldn?t get it to turn off at all so i took it to the dealership. The said a wire shorted out and fixed it at no cost to me. In december of 2002 the drivers side door started sticking and one day i came out of work and it wouldn?t open at all i took it in to the dealer they said the door was falling off and that they replaced a latch at no cost to me. The car was at 17642 miles at this time. The day before my appt for the door i was driving and all the sudden the radio just went off and wouldn?t come on. They had to replace the radio also at no cost to me. January of 03 was when the big problem started with the engine the car wouldn?t start i had it towed to hyundai they said there was carbon build up on the engine. They cleaned it and gave it back they didn?t find the cause and didn?t explain anything else to me. But at that time the car only had 18704 miles on it.since then the car has had problems starting i?ve taken it back to the dealer a few times the car died on the road and the check engine light came on i had it towed in they said it was just the spark plugs battery was fine and that the car was due for a tune up which cost me $282.12 the car was at 27666 miles they also replaced the oxygen sensor that day {11/9/03} at no cost to me. I got the car back {28909 miles}. It still won?t run right and had a hard time starting. I took the car back on 10/21/03.they said that the battery had a bad cell. I didn?t want to pay them for anything but the tech there said if i didn?t they couldn?t look at the car anymore until they ruled out the battery being the problem so i spent $58.37 on a battery.

Fire started in engine compartment.front of vehicle was destroyed.fire department said cause was a fuel leak.car had reg. Maintance and no accidents.

Everytime i use my emergency brake it freezes. I had it towed into the local dealership & they informed me that the problem wasn't happening while in their possession.so, i left my car at the dealership and was told that a regional manager would have to approve my repair because they didn't know what exactly was causing my problem.i picked up my car 5 days later with no repairs being made and the problem still existing.my last conversation with the service manager, i was told that the regional manager still has yet to respond to my problem.so now i am stuck with a manual transmission car that i cannot use the emergency break for when i need it because of the winter weather.

While traveling on the highway and without prior warning.allelectrical parts failed, and transmission malfunctioned.

2001 tiburon has had repeated (6) automatic transmission failures. First failure occurred after only 1700 miles and has continued to fail periodically. Dealers will only go so far as to replace the transmission but have never tried to find why they are failing. It is very dangerous to be driving at highway speeds and to lose your transmission very suddenly. It has gotten so that if i even suspect a prblem i garage the car until i can get it into a dealer to be examined.

As the original owner, i have 4 transmission repairs for my hyundai tiburon:05/28/04jim burke hyundai service invoice comments:?customer states transaxle will not shift ? stays in 3rd gear ? states has been advised needs tcm replaced ? check transaxle operation and contact techline ? check with a/t tester ? not going into gear ? r&r and replace transaxle with reman unit and flush cooler.?the transmission stayed in 3rd gear. Hyundai replaced the transmission.10/01/2004the transmission slipped again. I have an invoice that states the *?locking clip off of right drive axle allowing fluid to leak out of axle seal ? ordered locking clip ? filled transaxle to correct level ? advised customer of leak ? customer to bring vehicle back for clip replacement.?*this indicates the clip was left off the last time the transmission was serviced by the dealership on 05/28/04, which suggesting negligence. 10/4/04the following comments were taken from the invoice:?customer states transaxle is slipping ? leaking found axle clip missing allowing axle to move and fluid to leak. R&r right axle and replace retainer clip?10/18/05the following comments were taken from the invoice:?customer state transaxle lurches or sticks while driving ? perform scan test ? code p0734 ? 4th gear error ? road test vehicle ? code reset ? contact tech line ? case #205359 r&r replace transaxle with reman unit and flush cooler?because this was the second time i had a problem with the transmission recently, i asked the dealership for a new transmission instead of a manufactured one. The dealership would only give me a manufactured one.03/28/08invoice comments:?automatic transaxle flush and replace fluid?there are no service comments regarding a transmission problem. The service cost me $191.12.04/10/08invoice comments:?customer states check engine light came on ? was advised has codes p0734 and p1624 ? perform scan.

Clutch is going out, 5 speed transmissions is also going to it would still be under warranty from when it was first bought.
