People complain so much about celica problems, but there werent even close to as many problems when the celica first came out as the new tib. Hyundai quality is getting better? I'm telling you this is pretty much the norm for korean cars. (I have lived in korea)
I quoted these from a thread at the tib forum labeled 2003 problems... And these weren't all of them.
The up/down switch for the sunroof doesn't work at all. I can only open/close it.
Hey all. Here's the stuff about the recall and the sunroof motor. So far this is all I know of.
1. There is a bracket underneath the dash that was missing on some models. They say it could cause injury in a frontal crash. It only applies to models produced within a certain time range. I own an '03 Tib Package 3 and it did not apply to me because my car wasn't in that particular production run. Just go by your dealer and have them check the VIN # to see if it applies to you. Here is the link to the recall if you want to print it out and take it with you. http://www.safetyalerts.com/recall/a/02/v00064.htm
2. They are working to fix a problem with bad sunroof motors. People have been having the motors go out sometimes the day after they picked up the car. Right now Hyundai is having new motors made. Once they have enough of the new motors at the factory to keep up with production they will be sending them to the dealers. Ask your dealer about this also and they should send you a notice when they get them. I have not had problems with my sunroof at all but I talked to the shop foreman and he informed me that once the dealers recieve the new motors they will replace them for you whether it still works or not. I hope this info helps and if I hear of anything else I will come back and post it.
I've had one problem.....at 1200 miles the clutch destroyed itself. I dont know what happened or why it happened. I came off a shift at a decent rpm and it felt like i hit a HUGE pothole....well i came to the next light and put inthe clutch to go and it went down with no resistance. and it wouldnt go into first....i knew right away what happened. LUCKILY this happened right in front of the local hyundai dealer. they had to replace the entire clutch and the flywheel....
Yeah I've heard from several people about their clutches going extremely early...In the first 2000 miles...
i have a white 2003 tib v6 and i have a clicking noise in the engine... only when it's cold though... i took it to the dealership and i have to take it back sometime this week.... but just today the check engine light came on... and my auto tranny got stuck in third....um..... anybody know anything about this....

[quote]After I test-drove one at the dealership, the car I bought just came off the truck with 18 miles on it. On the way home, I noticed that the auto-stick wouldn't show 2nd on the dash display. Got that fixed now. Put in a whole new spedometer. I have little water leak on the passenger side window, but not my sunroof. The motor in my sunroof works fine, but I think the driverside window motor has problems. When you push it to open automatically, sometimes it doesn't work. I also have that loud "clicking" sound when I shut off my engine. Most cars have that, but not this loud. Other than that, no problems.
Yeah the leak on mine was actually not from the sunroof because I don't even have the sunroof!
It was leaking through the windshield down thru the map lights!
The only problems so far are a turn signal that won't cancel after a left turn when the steering column is warm (parked in the sun, etc...) and a bad left front wheel sensor for the ABS. The dealer found the wheel sensor during his predelivery inspection and replaced it. The dealer is also replacing the combination switch assembly tommorrow.
my sunroof died today. i cant close it. T.T Now i must go to the dealer tomorrow and hope it wont rain.. I hope they have a motor ready b/c if they dont' i'm screwed. [quote]
[quote]Problems? You want to hear about my problems? I picked up my new Carbon Blue GT last night at 4pm. By 9pm the sunroof motor quit. The wife takes it out today to see some freinds and show off. She stops and puts gas in the car and drives home. Half way home she notices it seems to be hesitating. I get home and she tells me this, I go out to take it for a spin to see. I get in turn the key and the engine just cranks over, will not fire now. I had to watch my new toy go buy on the back of a tow truck. F**K!!!!
Well, I've had mine three weeks now (V6, auto, carbon blue) and the moonroof went out on week two, the left turn signal doesn't cancel and here's a new one...the hatchback won't stay up. I could deal with the first two problems for a little while but the hatch is a bit too heavy to have to deal with holding it open with one arm while trying to get things in and out of it LOL Called the dealership and it goes in Wednesday.
Well I've had mine for like 9 days and this morning as i pulled out of the driveway i noticed a nice puddle of oil under the car, my oil pan is leaking, this sucks, well as everyone has said it is under warranty will be takin back tomorrow morning, oh and 2 days after i got it i was driving and i got a flat, the piece of scrap metal ripped a 3 inch hole on the tread of the tire and it could not be patched, $182 dollars for a new one, oh yea what did everyone pay for their tib cause i payed 18500 for my gtv6 auto but today in the paper i seen an ad for the 4cyl for 10000, did i get ripped off or somethin or is that jus a goood deal
Looks like I've got another problem. Took a trip from Johnstown, PA to Oneonta, NY this weekend. About 360 miles each way. About 40 miles from Oneonta we stopped for gas and there was a turbine like grinding souns comming from under the hood .Sounded kinda like when Mad Max engaged his big blower in the movie.
Checked everything I could under the hood and couldn't find anything out of the ordinary. We decided to continue. The noise wasn't loud enough to hear on the highway but it was still there when we arrived Saturday evening. It was still there this morning but we had to get home so we headed out onto the highway again. After about 150 miles or so we pulled in to a rest stop for a nature break and the noise was gone----but so was the power steering. It takes two hands and almost all the force I can manage just to steer. On the highway it wasn't too bad because most of the turns are small but after getting near home I was affraid I might not be able to make it to my house. Well,, it's home and I am going to call Road Side assistance to tow it to the dealer.
Driving around today one of my CDs were skipping. I thought that maybe it was just scratched, so I put in another. It did the same thing and also just cut out now and then. I eject that CD cause I know it wasn't scratched. Put it back in and get Err2 on the CD display. I cant even get that CD out, it won't eject it now.
same sun roof problem here. it didn't work coming off of the lot actually. my girlfriend was playing around with it this weekend and it opened 1/4 of the way, but wouldn't close. we had to crank it shut. before it made a "click" when you pressed the buttons, now it makes a grinding noise. the dealer said that hyundia is shipping new parts as customers need them, so i should have it fixed in a week or so.
i drove another one and the driver's side window stuck open. i hope this isn't a sign of all of the window motors going bad.
Jeez... after reading all that, I was just glad I have a toyota! Some of them make me laugh cuz its so freaking dumb, but I can feel for the owners too because it sucks to have problems when you just bought a brand new car and love it so much.
