Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: The clutch on this vehicle seems to slip during normal driving, causing the worst smell. it smells like a sewage tereatment plant in the summertime, and normally dissipates after a few minutes. the clutch slips during normal driving, such as starting on a mild grade, or even during bumper-to-bumper traffic. this last one is particulary annoying as this is an everyday occurence for many of us. normal driving in rush hour traffic causes a prolonged overwhelming smell in the passenger compartment, causing occupants to become sick to their stomachs.
