The fight continues

Yesterday I took my clutch to a transmission specialist and a mechanic who both agreed there was something questionable about the way the clutch wore out. In fact they both pointed to the same thing. Called the dealership and explained to them what I had found and that I have a specialist who is willing to come to court as an expert witness to testify to that fact. At that point they asked for the clutch back so they could take it down in person to Hyundai's head office for them to look at. A little fear is good. So I returned the clutch back to them last night.

I spoke with them again this morning, explaining that it's not a money issue, but a principle one and that I wouldn't stop until my point was made - no matter what the cost. We'll see what they come back with.

These are no idle threats. I am documenting everything and am fully prepared to take them to small claims court.

I don't like being screwed over.

Incidentally, I searched on the internet and found other people with the same complaints. There's also a class action lawsuit against them in the states from owners of Tiburon's who feel that their clutches wore out early. Apparently I'm not the only one who feels this way.

I'll update as I hear more.
