Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: Clutch shudders in first and second gears until engine warms up (~20mins). vehicle has less than 17,000 miles and this has been a problem since the first day of ownership. i brought the vehicle to the dealer and was told this was normal. i find that explanation unacceptable since many others have complained with the same problem. i find this to be a safety issue since i have to rev the engine up to get the clutch to engage, potentially lurching me into traffic and causing an accident. *jb
