2004 Hyundai Tiburon on 2040-cars

Year:2004 Mileage:186272

Jamestown, Indiana, United States

2004 Hyundai Tiburon in good driving condition.  My son recently bought another car outright, so his old one is for sale.  Mileage is around 32 mpg.  The engine has never been worked on with the exception of oil changes and spark plugs.  Tires have probably 30,000 miles on them.  Stock magnesium wheels.  The radio is one year old - Best Buy installed and iPod - iPhone ready.  It is a hatchback.  Headlights and tail lights all function, as do the turning signals and back up lights.  Manual 5 speed transmission with a new clutch installed about 3 months ago. 

The front bumper is shattered - my son hit a moving vehicle and broke it, however, there was no damage whatsoever to the frame.  The collision was about 10 mpg. when it happened.  The bumper to replace it lists for around $200 on eBay sites which I recently checked.  Mechanically, the engine, transmission, radiator, clutch, and brakes are all in good shape.  It needs a new exhaust system, and the present one is resting on the frame so it rattles when a bump is hit.  The sun roof only opens partially, there is no cruise control (none when purchased), and the emergency brake has had the cables cut at one time and we never fixed it.  The paint is in acceptable condition but the stock spoiler does need re-painting.  There are the beginnings of a few bubbles in the paint on the very bottom edges of the doors, but the rest of the body is rust free.  One small dent in the very front of the hood.   The car is ready to drive.

Hyundai reveals flying car among other wacky concepts [w/video]

Mon, 15 Apr 2013

Hyundai has held an IDEA festival for the past three years that gives its engineers a break from seat belts, and electrical harnesses and wheel arch moldings. Each festival serves up a theme for personal mobility, after that there's no limit - competing teams can come up with anything that serves the theme and are encouraged to get creative.
That's how you get concepts like the E4U 'egg car' (pictured); a single-stander mode of transportation that channels Mork from Ork. The oddest thing about the egg is not the yellow shell but the helmet the 'driver' wears. Other ideas included a flying car with 16 (!) rotors, a bicycle that could serve as a spare tire and a car with five joints. Although most appeared totally impractical, all were totally cool.
This year's festival is in the works, the theme being the rather ambiguous "R&D for customers," the point is apparently to come up with concepts that Hyundai customers might actually use. There's a video with scenes of last year's festival and a press release below (our vote goes to the Pandora).

2009 Hyundai Genesis under investigation for brake problems

Mon, 21 Oct 2013

According to The Detroit News, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has launched an investigation into 40,000 Hyundai Genesis sedans due to reports of brake problems. All of the vehicles in this probe are from the 2009 model year.
NHTSA has reportedly received 23 complaints from owners citing increased brake pedal travel and reduced braking power, with one of the incidents resulting in a crash. The Detroit News reports that, in another incident, the Genesis driver responded to the lack of brake effectiveness by applying the parking brake, which caused the vehicle to lose control and go into a spin. Many of the complaints indicate that this problem was simply diagnosed as a faulty ABS module.
In a statement to The News, Hyundai said it is fully cooperating with NHTSA on this investigation. An official recall may occur, depending on the results of the government agency's findings.

Hurricane Sandy cost automakers 15,000 vehicles, may have ruined up to 200k

Wed, 07 Nov 2012

Hurricane Sandy was the largest Atlantic storm in US history, and its total economic impact is just now coming into view. According to Automotive News, Toyota, Chrysler, Nissan and Honda are set to scrap around 15,000 new vehicles ruined by the storm. Nissan alone accounts for about 40 percent of those, with 6,000 Nissan and Infiniti models deeded "un-saleable" due to damage. The company saw 56 dealerships shuttered due to the storm, but 51 of those have since reopened.
Toyota, meanwhile, had some 4,000 vehicles at its Newark port facility, and of those, 3,000 may be scrapped. An additional 825 were dealer inventory when they were ruined. Honda and Acura dealers are reportedly sending 3,440 vehicles to the salvage yard. By comparison, Chrysler weathered the storm fairly well with 825 units destroyed, while Hyundai suffered only 400 lost units and Kia scrapped around 200.
As you may recall, Fisker also suffered some losses, and Automotive News reports the manufacturer saw 320 Karma models damaged beyond repair. Ford and General Motors have yet to come up with estimates, and no automaker has commented on the full cost of replacing the vehicles.
