Hyundai’s claim that it offers “America’s Best Warranty™” is going to be tested in an Orange County, California Superior Court. On March 22, 2006, Green Welling LLP, a San Francisco class action law firm, filed suit against Hyundai for refusing to cover repairs under its warranty to correct defective clutch parts in 2003 Hyundai Tiburon GTs with six-speed manual transmissions. The action is filed under Case no. 06CC00052.

According to class action lawyer Robert Green, “We noticed an unusual amount of 2003 Tiburon drivers complaining about their clutches failing within the first 30,000 miles they drove the car. Not only was the clutch failing prematurely, but owners were complaining that Hyundai refused warranty coverage for the repairs needed to fix the problem.” [PRWEB]
