Consumer Description

SEVERAL INSTANCES OF CLUTCH DROPPING TO FLOOR (USUALLY IN HIGH SPEED URBAN TRAFFIC) MAKING SHIFTING IMPOSSIBLE, AND LEADING TO PULLING ON TO SHOULDER AND ROLLING UNTIL ENGINE KILLS AT LOW SPEED. HAVE REPORTED TO HYUNDAI, AND TAKEN TO DEALER...THEY SAY WITHOUT DUPLICATING THE PROBLEM, THEY CAN'T FIX. THIS HAS NOW HAPPENED ABOUT A HALF DOZEN TIMES BETWEEN 10,000 AND 44,000 MILES. IT IS DANGEROUS.. I AM TRYING TO DOCUMENT WITH HYUNDAI AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE, AS THEY APPARENTLY ARE NOT INTERESTED UNTIL SOMEONE GETS HURT OR WORSE.. *TR
