Typical problems @ 120,000 mi for 2008 Hyundai Tiburon

Can’t speak to that particular vehicle, but around 120K miles vehicles, which both my own vehicles exceed, at that mileage they’ll often show signs of wear in all the moving parts other than the engine & trans (provided those latter two have been maintained properly).

  • Brake parts, all the wheels, and including emergency brake lever & cable
  • Stuff affecting linkages you push on w/your feet, accel pedal, brake pedal, clutch master cylinder, etc.
  • Door lock mechanisms
  • Window up/down mechanisms
  • Hood latch mechanism
  • Windshield wipers
  • Moving parts associated w/cooling system, like radiator fan temperature switches.
  • Electric switches used frequently, such as the ignition switch, brake light switch
