| Description of the problem | Took my car to dealership for the clutch slipping and grinding on two separate occasions, the grinding was stopped but the slipping was still a problem. I was told by service to "adjust the way i drive." at 19557 miles my clutch went out completely, when i asked the service advisor what caused this he said "it looks like its been slipping for a long time." the dealership informed me that the repairs would not be covered under warranty as the clutch parts are only under warranty for 12000 miles. My car was under 12000 miles both times the clutch was "repaired" before. Now i have a repair bill for over $2000 that i refuse to pay because they didn't fix the problem when they could have, under warranty. *nm |
