| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: My clutch shudders when cold and sometimes when warmed up. been happening since around 20k miles. took to dealer at 25k miles but they couldn't duplicate problem. they said bring it back when problem worsens. brought back to dealer at 56k miles, and dealer said clutch was bad. wouldn't cover it under warranty since they said it was "user wear". yeah, right! i had to pay full cost to replace the clutch!! i think this should be investigated since many people with outback clutches have similar problems. i've look at outback model years 2000-2003 on the nhtsa complaint web site and there are many incidences about the defective clutches. |
