 My 2002 hyundai elantra's clutch has failed again after just 25000 miles. i have had the clutch replaced once, at which point the mileage was only 22000. i do not have bad driving habits, to which my entire family will attest. no one else has ever driven my car. the cost to me of this problem was $800 the first time and has been estimated to be between $1150 and $1250. i broke down on the highway and was lucky to make it to the side of the road before the vehicle stopped moving. i have researched this particular vehicle and found that many others have suffered similar problems with the clutch, yet hyundai has made no attempt to assume blame for the problem or to help with repair costs. the only way they have ever provided reimbursement is if the owner threatens legal action. *jb

 Clutch failure i purchased the car new and at 42,196 miles the clutch went out, dealer claims normal wear. the car now has 73,026 miles and again the clutch needed replaced. this started when the replaced clutch had less then 29,000 miles on it. again they claim normal wear. the clutch pedal has no pressure when engaged and there is no adjustment. customer service or dealer will do nothing and i had to pay for another clutch. if you look at the list of complaints on this problem it has to be a defective clutch or transmission. i had over 130,000 miles on my other car with no problem. i also taught driving and know how to operate a clutch. thank you. *tr
