Vehicle: 2001 Hyundai Tiburon
Without this Hyundai warranty I would be screwed right now. I posted here on RD in the engine/tranny section cause my tibby looked like it was having tranny problems. (Tranny would slip, get into 2nd and 4th gear real late, sometimes wouldnt get into 4th etc.) Before I went to a dealer, I went to a tranny place, got confirmed that there were problems but I was told it just might be a faulty solenoid or wiring issues. Then after knowing there were tranny issues for sure, I went to a different dealer (hate the one I got my car from.. its soo bad) and told them what was up. All I expected was some sort of tranny part to be replaced and thats all. I get a call a couple of hours later and they told me I need a whole new tranny and its covered under warranty. Music to my ears hearing the word "warranty"..haha. The dealer was really nice too, the dealership seemed more organized and such..it was worth the 14 mile trip. Since the Tib will be gone for a few days I have to drive the ugly Nissan Sentra we have as a spare car..ehh slow and ugly but oh well it's reliable too and will take me to central NY (to see teh bf) this week. Though there might not be a point to this thread, I thought I'd share how much I love Hyundai and their warranty...but I am still pretty pissed my tranny went out at 50k. Either past owners murdered it or its true that automatics suck. smile.gif

That's good to hear. Glad everything worked out for you.
My extended warranty saved me about $400 for a FPR and install once. My warranty is now gone so I am hoping for the best.
You should tell them to stick a 5sp in there for you.

that's cool. my warranty has been used a few more times that i'd like. mostly on headlights though. i think i'm gonna go in tomorrow and have my door panels and dash replaced since they are cracking and chipped. i also need them to figure out why 2nd gear grinds when i shift into it above 4500 rpm.
