2.0t known to have clutch problem

[bkprodigy]

I read this in korean article where a number of korean owners reporting clutch failure in stock 2.0t.

Apparently, it happens while driving as clutch tends to disengage and keeps slipping resulting in rising in rpm but car not going any where. The clutch and flywheel assembly seems completely normal when disassembled..

Another known problems include :
massive rattling that requires replacement of front door molding
oil leak

Any word on Hyundai covering this under warranty? I would assume so but you mention clutch and flywheel appear normal.

My bets are 10:1 that it is owners (or their children) doing burnouts or trying to 'drift' and are glazing the clutch. It's kind of hard to get a clutch wrong, but who knows. At least a lot of these possible issues are already recognized and Hyundai seems to have a good track record with keeping things running smooth. Yay for super warranties!

The owners report that it happens under normal driving. Like I said, when all of these clutches were pulled out, they looked completely normal (which means the discs aren't fried from burning the clutch).

Thankfully, hyundai replaces them anyway under warranty.

Hopefully it didn't make its way here if they made the required changes to prevent it before the US release.

I decided to hold off on purchasing my coupe for a few months until the bugs are ironed out like they did in the sedan. Figure it'd be a nice Christmas present to myself too.

I thought the KDM and the USDM are two different versions.

I thought the KDM and the USDM are two different versions.

ha, yeah, the only difference is prolly the gauge cluster and navi option lol.

what about the size of it being the problem and the power it is putting thru it? i know that in the Kia Rio there are a few turbo guys who face the slipping problem due to the size
