Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: The clutch on my 2003 matrix failed at 32,000 miles. i've owned manual transmission cars all my life and have never had this happen until at least 65,000 to 85,000 miles were put on the vehicle. toyota refuses to replace the clutch blaming me for improper driving technique and or abuse. it's nice to see that im not the only one with this problem. hopefully in the near future toyota will be held responsible for the defective clutch. *nm
