| I have 90,000 miles on my 2003 hyundai tiburon. i have already had the clutch replaced 3 times. once under warranty at 29,000 miles, the second pocket at 43,200 miles and third at 69,500 miles. now at 90,000 miles it is going out again. the first two i made hyundai pay for them but this is getting ridiculous two flywheels at 400.00 dollars each and two kits at 385.00 each. theren hasn got to be a problem with the original design. the master cylinder and slave cylijnder have never needed replacement according to the dealer. they flush and fuill every time. i think this is a scam by hyundai or ots dealers there is obviously a major defect. are there any recalls on this car? please help thank you. | |||
