TOOK VEHICLE TO THE DEALER TO CHECK THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT. THEY SAID IT WAS CAUSED BY THE SEAT BELT AND WIRING THAT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. AFTER CHECKING THE RECALL INFORMATION, THERE WAS A RECALL (056) UNDER CAMPAIGN NUMBER 02V290000. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE RECALL WAS NOT FOR MY VEHICLE WHICH WAS A 2003 HYUNDAI TIBURON. I CALLED HYUNDAI AND SPOKE WITH THEIR REP AND SHE SAID THE SAME EVEN THOUGH THE RECALL INCLUDES 2003 HYUNDAI TIBURONS. THIS FIX WILL COST ME CLOSE TO $400.00 JUST TO PASS INSPECTION.

I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER OF A 2003 HYUNDAI TIBURON. I HAVE HAD PROBLEMS WITH MY AUTOMATICD TRUNK RELEASE NOT WORK AS WELL AS MY DRIVER SIDE POWER WINDOW NOT WORKING. MY CAR IS NOT UNDER WARRANTY BECAUSE IT IS 12 YEARS OLD, HOWEVER IT ONLY HAS 64,000. I HAVE TALKED WITH OTHER TIBURON OWNERS WHO HAVE AND ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM. I SEE NO RECALLS ON MY VEHICLE FOR THIS ISSUE. MY CONCERN IS WE HAVE BEEN TO SEVERAL SALVAGE PLACES TO LOOK FOR A MOTOR AND THE TIBURONS WHICH WERE ON PROPERTY ALL HAD THE WINDOW MOTORS SOLD ALREADY. THIS MADE ME WONDER IF THERE HAVE BEEN OTHER REPORTS OF THIS SAME ISSUE I AM HAVING. MY CAR WILL NOT PASS INSPECTION BECAUSE OF THE POWER WINDOW ISSUE. ARE YOU AWARE OF ANY ISSUES. *TR

JUST TOOK 03 TIBURON TO HYUNDAI FOR RECALL SAID FRAME IS ROTTING AWAY NEVER SEEN FRAME ROT LIKE THIS IS THERE ANY RECALLS FOR FRAME RUST OR IS THERE ANY THING I CAN DO, HYUNDAI SAID UNFIXABLE. *TR
