Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: Clutch slipped on occasion - began to emit odor when driving in slow traffic (rush hour) conditions... slippage gradually got worse to the point the car became unreliable. went to dealership - tech determined clutch & flywheel needed to be replaced - gave me a 1700 estimate and said warranty wouldn't touch it (result of operator error). i went ahead and ordered an oem clutch from the dealer & an aftermarket flywheel (and rented a car for 2 weeks while i waited for my parts to arrive) and had my own mechanic install my parts. total cost out of my pocket was 1400. turns out the clutch the dealer gave me was not the 'new' part (tsb 04-40-005) and now my clutch is rattling and has now began to show signs of failure. *jb
