Description of the problem	I took my vehicle in for a tapping sound coming from the engine compartment. The afternoon after i dropped off my car i received a call from the service adviser telling me that the noise was coming from an interior component of my engine and that the engine would have to be replaced. The engine did not come in until july 20, 2015. Within a day or two i received another call from the service adviser telling me that the clutch pressure plate was worn down to the metal and that it needed to be replaced. He went on to say that this particular part was not covered under the manufacturers warranty and i would now incur an out of pocket expense. At fifty three years of age i have had several vehicles with manual transmissions and never have had problems with my clutch let alone with the pressure plate. Soon after i researched several vehicle review web sites to learn that there are a number of complaints with the clutch pressure plate vehicles with mileage from 11k to 25 k.
