Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: I have owned the car for 4 months and have about 6500 miles on the odomoter. the clutch has started slipping when the turbo kicks in. the problem is getting progressively worse. i have notified my local dealer who acknologes the car needs a clutch, but claims this is a wear item and isn't covered under warranty. they also implied driver abuse. this car is my daily driver, i do not race it or drive it above its intended use. i have even offered to supply a quality aftermarket clutch and have the dealer simply provide the labor, they were not agreeable to this at this point.*ak
