| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: While entering the interstate and upshifting into 5th gear, the clutch was depressed. the clutch stuck to the floor of the vehicle causing the vehicle to lose all transmission function. the vehicle coasted to the side of the road and was towed to the dealer. the dealer determined the failure was due to the clutch disc which disintegrated and was not covered since it was considered a wear item. the manufacturer was alerted and no repairs were made so the owner then paid to make the repairs, even though the vehicle was still under warranty. *nm |
