| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: Car started to have a clutch pedal problem around 5000 miles, so i took it to the dealer and they said it was normal nothing to worry about. then at about 10,000 miles the clutch began slipping so i took it once again to the dealer. they said "yep the clutch is pretty worn out it should be replaced but we aren't sure if it will be covered under warranty" so they told me i need to authorize the payment for the clutch repair which was $1100. well i am a college student and working to own this car and i didn't have the money to authorize that so i pursued the consumer affairs department and after a bout a month driving the car with the slipping clutch. i got approval to have the clutch inspected at no charge by the dealer they then told me that the clutch is so worn that i looks like it was severely abused and therefore not warrantable and it even seemed as though you were racing your vehicle so we has permanently removed the warranty on this vehicle. so as of today 11/6/06 the car is still at the dealership waiting. *nm |
