May	2008		0	Check engine light, stalling, skipping, codes P0300 to P0304. Dealer kept it for over a week and replaced the Oxgen sensor. Dealer could not explain why it happened, They stated, "I hope this does it."
Sep	2008	13000	0	The clutch pedal would grab high, low, then stay enguaged, then a popping noise and the clutch pedal went to the floor with fluid coming out of the transmission.  I had the car for 13 miles and the same condition came back, stopped working on my home street, had the service manager come out and confirm, and needed to be towed again.  Replaced some valve (Service advisor said they didn't know what it was) in the clutch system and replaced the slave cylinder again. At this point it was irrelevant,the car is unreliable. Hyundai and dealer refuse to work on the car anymore, I'm Stuck.
Oct	2008	13000	0	Blown Clutch Again. replaced Slace Cyl,and reservior tube.
