Common problems & what to inspect

Based on all 43 owner complaints filed with NHTSA for the 2005 Hyundai Tiburon, here are the most-reported problem areas — and what to check before you buy.

💥 8 involved a crash 🔥 1 involved a fire 🚑 6 reported injuries

Power Train 18 reports

🔍 Drive through every gear: watch for slipping, hard or delayed shifts, and shudder. Check for transmission/driveline leaks and noises.

Air Bags 7 reports

🔍 Confirm the airbag light turns on then off at startup — if it stays lit there's a fault (costly, and a safety risk). Check for signs of prior deployment.

Suspension 5 reports

🔍 Listen for clunks over bumps, check the car sits level, and look for uneven tire wear and worn shocks or struts.

Steering 4 reports

🔍 Steering should be tight and centered — no play, clunks or wandering. Test at low and highway speed; listen for power-steering whine.

Tires 4 reports

🔍 Check tread depth, the DOT age date, and that all four tires match with even wear. Look for bulges or cracks.

Equipment 3 reports

🔍 Test all accessories — sunroof, climate, seats, electronics — for proper operation.
