Consumer Description

THE CLUTCH PEDAL MAKES A LOUD POP OR CLICK SOUND ACCOMPANIED BY A CREAKING SOUND EVERY TIME THE CLUTCH PEDAL IS DEPRESSED. UPON FURTHER INSPECTION THE BRAKE PEDAL MOVES TO THE LEFT AT THE SAME TIME THE CLUTCH PEDAL IS DEPRESSED. FROM THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT, IT IS VISIBLE WHERE THE METAL HAS BROKEN WHERE THE SPOT WELDS HOLD THE PEDAL BRACKET TO THE FIREWALL. IF THE REST OF THE WELDED SPOTS BREAK, THE BRAKES AND CLUTCH MAY BECOME INOPERABLE DURING DRIVING, POTENTIALLY CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. *TR
