| Description of the problem | I just recently purchased my vehicle. I'm in the military so i put a lot of miles on it driving home all the time. After a month and a half and 5000 miles roughly, my clutch started slipping and then gave out. It was sudden and complete. The tech's at the dealership i took it to stated that my clutch had been severely fried like i was racing it. Fortunately they didn't remove my warranty but they did charge me $900 for it. *jb |
