Consumer Description

LOUD GROANING NOISE COMING FROM CLUTCH PEDAL EACH TIME PEDAL IS DEPRESSED TO SHIFT THE CAR. ON CLOSER INSPECTION OF THE NOISE COME TO FIND OUT THAT THE ENTIRE (CLUTCH AND BRAKE) PEDAL ASSEMBLY IS FLEXING AND THE FIREWALL OF THE CAR IS DEFLECTING EACH TIME THE PEDAL IS ACTUATED. LOOKING AT HOW THE PEDAL ASSEMBLY IS ATTACHED TO THE VEHICLE BELIEVE THAT WITH ENOUGH CYCLES THE PEDAL ASSEMBLY COULD BECOME DISPLACED DUE TO FAILURE OF THE PEDAL ASSEMBLY. WHILE MY VEHICLE HAS HIGH MILEAGE THIS IS DUE TO LONG DISTANCE TRAVEL FOR WORK. AN OWNER LIVING IN AN URBAN AREA MAY HAVE A HIGHER DUTY CYCLE WITH THE PEDALS AND EXPERIENCE ISSUES SOONER.
