Collected mine today and mine does this. Any update to what causes it?

Im more worried about when under hard acceleration 3rd wont into gear...twice now makes me wonder if im not fully depressing the clutch or ist clutch/box hmmm
Not something I've noticed on mine so far.
Will check this afternoon when I'm out!

Not noticed this either. Will check when I next drive it. I think as long as it isn't vibrating "lots" its probably ok. Something to keep an eye on though in case it gets worse.
When under load just put a bit of pressure on the shifter as if your going into 4th and see if it vibrates....
Putting pressure on the stick in forth causes vibration which feels like it does without any pressure in third. Like its rubbing against something?
The vibration I get is when in 3rd and the car is under load
Everything else is spot on
Dealer is looking at it next week. I'll be borrowing their demo to see it's normal
Couldn't feel anything untoward on mine yesterday. Even tried the overrun in 3rd, downhill, which can often yield a little bit of transmission shimmy... nowt!
So last Friday I left work and it felt like the tyres were spinning on some oil on the road (it was also raining).
I drove probably 5minutes while it kept feeling like the tyres were spinning each time I accelerated.
I then realised that I couldn't go any faster than 30km/hr, and that slowly dropped to 15km/hr.
luckily I was near my house so I drove at 15km/hr while having to pump the clutch ever now and then to make sure it kept going.
It took about 15minutes to drive what would normally be a 2minute drive.
Once I got it home I only barely got up the driveway and then I found out the clutch was not working at all.
Got it towed and found out today that the clutch has been worn down completely to the rivets.
This is on a 3month old/5000km car, I don't even know how I would be able to do this to the clutch although Hyundai are saying its not a warranty issue as a clutch is a wearable part.
Does anyone have any idea what I could do as the clutch is going to apparently be $3000+ AUD maybe closer to $4000.

That is terrible, surely that's got to be a defect? While I understand that a clutch is a consumable it doesn't smell right, and I'm disappointed Hyundai haven't come to the party to help you out. I would have thought this comes well below what is expected of "reasonable life" against ACCC rules, and if you don't get any joy from Hyundai then it might be worth raising with the ACCC.
See page 7 of https://www.accc.gov.au/system/files/Motor-vehicle-sales-and-repairs-guide.pdf (highlighting of "durable" is by me):
A supplier guarantees:* goods will be of acceptable quality**
* For the purpose of the ACL, the term ‘supplier’ refers to dealers. The term ‘supplier’ would also refer to a manufacturer if it sells or otherwise supplies vehicles directly to consumers, including via online platforms; this would be in addition to their inherent classification under the ACL as ‘manufacturers’.
** Goods are of acceptable quality if they are safe, durable and free from defects, are acceptable in appearance and finish and do everything that they are commonly used for (see page 11)

Agree with @Baldrick on this. Your dealer contact should give you the benefit of the doubt on this initially and check other items that substantiate abuse or premature failure due to a faulty part. For example - tyre wear - clutch throw out bearing - pressure plate face and springs - flywheel clutch face. Not rocket science to see if you have new tyres already at 5000km or if the other clutch components show signs of user abuse.
Then we can even go to the electronics now a days to view some RPM / KPH data I would think. ECU should even show if you have done some launch control starts. If you have not, this would be good for you.
Unless you have been very-very aggressive with the clutch you need to fight for your rights here. Hyundai even mentions this clutch is "toughened" I believe.
This is no ordinary Elantra type clutch your Dealer may be familiar with and I have not seen anyone on this forum who have mentioned that they have cooked their clutch.

I did call up the states fair trading number and they provided me with help on writing a letter of demand along with:
Australian consumer law - section 54 - goods of acceptable quality
and
Sale of motor vehicle act 1977 - section 23 - obligations of dealer to repair defects in motor vehicle
Not going to say that I haven't done any launches, although I would highly doubt launching it a couple of times would have worn down the clutch this fast.
As for the tyres they say my front tyres are pretty well used and have asked if I went on a track recently. As for the other parts, they did not mention those. Should I ask them to check them for me? (clutch throw out bearing - pressure plate face and springs - flywheel clutch face)

Yes, if the pressure plates springs are weak then the clamping force on the friction plate will be reduced and early clutch slip will follow. This is a failure of the pressure plate and not a user issue. The throw-out bearing would be toast if you have been using your clutch pedal as an extra dead pedal to rest your foot on. This would be a user issue but I hope you know better than not to do that.
So long as you have been using the vehicle as intended and not torturing the car then my money is on bad/weak pressure plate springs.
The pressure plate face and flywheel face would of course show signs of heat and slippage anyway.
Good luck with it all and keep us updated. Remember some Hyundai Australia staff are members here so use the forum if you need.
