I may be wrong and am open to being corrected, but I didn't think there was such a thing as a 2002 Tiburon. I thought they delayed the production of the new style to 2003 and just called it a 2003. I'm sorry you had such bad luck with it, but let's face it... you went from a Pacer to a pre-05 Hyundai... talk about going from the frying pan to the fire. Neither of those cars was ever described as reliable or well engineered. Try getting something a little more thought out like a 1995 Crown Victoria... noooo, just kidding!
