| Description of the problem | I was driving along at about 30 mph and my clutch pedal became very difficult to push in and i could not shift. I was lucky enough to turn into a parking lot where i could not put the car into gear. Once the car was off i could move about the gears but once the car was on the pedal would not go down all the way and i could not get it into gear. There has been zero slipping or grinding of the gears and i have less than 30,000 miles. I am currently awaiting if my warranty will cover this issue. From what i have seen online the pressure plate has been cracked out warped so i plan to fight to have this covered under warranty. To think that a clutch would go out in 2. 5 years and under 30,000 miles if crazy but when i spoke with fiat dealership he made it seem that they see it all the time and customer care at first said they have seen it multiple times....
