| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: Clutch problems on jetta 2000. clutch failed on me why driving on the fl turnpike on saturday 14, 2006. i was at the toll plaza and when i left my car went into gear as normal, when i put it in 4th gear i heard the engine rev high but my car began to slow down. i coasted off the first exit i saw and luckily, kept coasting right into an apartment complex. i called the dealership i bought the car from and they sent out a tow company to pick my car up. on monday, may 15, 2006 i received a phone call from esserman international and i was told by the service dept that i had somehow activated the anti-theft on my car and they had disabled it and it was fixed. when i went to pick up my car, i was told that my car was not safe to drive because when they took my car to get washed the clutch failed again. i was told it was either the transmission or the clutch. turns out they are charging me 1800 dollars because the clutch needs to replaced, which is not covered under their warranty. *jb |
