Description of the problem | The clutch began to squeak and i took it to the dealer for inspection. They found that the clutch bracket had cracked at one of the welded location. This happened under normal daily driving to work and back. It cost me $369. 00 to replace the clutch pedal assembly with a new one. I don't think that this should happen under normal driving circumstances. This should be a recall item because if i did not take it into the dealer right away, the crack would have led to a catastrophic failure. |
