Description of the problem	I was driving 1200 miles from home doing about 45 mph on the local roads, and my clutch pedal started feeling funny, maybe a little loose. Then i heard a loud pop as i was trying to change gears and checked it out. The clutch pedal assembly bracket had failed and i called up the dealership as it was under warranty. They offered to replace it at my cost ($600) at which this is a manufacturer's defect so i shouldn't be liable for such damages, even after 59,000 miles. And especially after seeing that so many other people have this same problem, it poses a huge safety risk. I was able to drive it back home, shifting perfectly to match revs but was always difficult to start. Sometimes the pedal would be pushed so far back that it would run behind the brake pedal. It worried me so much that i might have had to have it towed so far to get someone to fix it. But this is a real problem!
