| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: 2003 vw jetta clutch and flywheel out at 47,962 miles. i am an experienced manual transmission driver. this is not my fault, and this is very premature for a clutch failure. the dealership wants $2088.00 plus tax for parts and labor. my dealership quoted me at $1400 back home, but im stuck in colorado waiting for the customer care to get back to me. every independent mechanic i have talked to including vw certified; but not affiliated have told me that even the worst clutch -rider(which i am not) would have clutch failure at about 100,000 miles. vw is too cheap to submit a recall for the clutch assemblies on their 2000-2004 vehicles. with the volume of complaints all over the web and even on this site, there is no doubt in my mind that there is a serious problem that needs to be addressed, and im not just speaking about the extremely outrageous replacement and repair costs. plus! they now use non- re-surface flywheels...*jb |
