| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: My 2005 jetta has a broken pressure plate in the clutch. the incindent must have happened while it sitting after being driven, because i parked it and it was acting fine, then i got back in later and it wasn't working. the car has only 15k miles on it and is less than 2 years old. i don't drive the car hard and only drive about 10 miles a day, and i have been driving manual for 12 years. vw is refusing to honor the warranty and is telling me the clutch problem is my fault. i have never heard of a clutch going in 15k miles, even if i was a terrible manual driver which i am not. i have researched this problem on the web, and it looks quite common for these cheaply made vw clutches to break down and for vw to find a way to not honor the warranty. i need help standing up against them. *tr |
