NHTSA Complaint #10376776 — 2003 HYUNDAI TIBURON

AFTER THE KEY REMOTE QUIT WORKING AND WAS RESET TWICE, THE DEALER SAID IT WAS A BMC COMPUTER MODULE THAT MAY BE OUT AND WE WERE TOLD THIS WAS A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH THE 2003 TIBURON. SOON AFTER THE LOCK INCIDENT, MY WINDSHIELD WASHER PUMP QUIT AS WELL AS ONE HEADLIGHT. REPLACED THE HEADLIGHT AND ANOTHER HEADLIGHT WENT OUT. COULD ONLY KEEP ONE HEADLIGHT WORKING AT ONE TIME. HAD THE BMC REPLACED BUT STILL GETTING NO ELECTRIC TO THE WINDSHIELD WASHER PUMP AND THE HEADLIGHTS DIDN'T WORK. MECHANIC HAD TO REWIRE THE HEADLIGHTS WHICH ARE WORKING NOW. MECHANIC ORDERED A NEW BMC THINKING THE ONE WE GOT WAS DEFECTIVE. MECHANIC ALSO CHECKED THE WASHER PUMP TO SEE IF IT WAS BAD BUT IT WAS NOT. IT WORKS BUT NOT GETTING ANY ELECTRIC TO IT WHEN HOOKED UP TO THE TIBURON. MECHANIC TRIED A DIFFERENT BMC BUT STILL NOT SOLVING THE PROBLEM. WAS TOLD THAT THE BMC COULD HAVE SHORTED OUT PART OF THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. MY 22 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER IS BUYING THIS CAR AND I DON'T FEEL SAFE WITH HER DRIVING IT. NO ONE CAN SEEM TO FIGURE OUT WHAT IS WRONG WITH THE CAR. WE HAVE BEEN TRYING FOR OVER A YEAR TO GET THIS FIXED. *TR
