the fact that they completely changed the design of the clutch/flywheel on
2005 models, plus go to:

See all the problems..plus so many complaints that a class action suit is
being compiled

Neither of this is documentation that a design problem exists or
existed. Class action suits get filed all of the time when nothing is
wrong. It only takes enough lawyers to smell blood.

What was the essence of the redesign in 2005? I didn't see anything
about this at the link above, but I didn't go through all 319 posts either.

When my clutch went out of my 03 Tiburon. I was absolutely prepared to pay
for a new clutch..what I had problems with was the fact that they were
telling me I had to pay $936.00 for a new flywheel becasue the original
flywheel wouldn't bolt up to the new clutch systems. Reason being... in
March of 03 Hyundai redesigned the clutch and flywheel system on the 03
models and they quit making the original replacement parts for the clutch.
So the ONLY way I could get a new clutch put in was to replace the flywheel
as well...and I don't believe that's fair...THEY are the ones that
REDESINED the clutch and flywheel system so THEY should be responsible for
replacing the parts that don't fit now because of THEIR redesign!! In my
opinion...they wouldn't have spent the time or the money to redesign
something that didn't have some type of malfunction to begin with... SO it
should on THEIR BIll...and it's rediculous to think they are expecting
people to pay almost $2,000.00 to fix THEIR mistake to begin with...

I agree that they should have had the parts required for your car or
provided the newly designed parts for free.

I wasn't asking about the clutch. It is documented that it is a faulty
design. The question WAS: Have you had any warranty repairs on ANY drive
train parts that Hyundai actually paid for???

Sure, they rebuilt the transmission in my Excel, even though it had 64K
miles and only a 60K mile warranty.

Did you talk to Hyundai directly or to a dealer? I suspect the latter.
