Consumer Description

I WAS DRIVING SLOWLY THROUGH MY NEIGHBORHOOD, PUT IN THE CLUTCH AND HEARD A LOUD CRACK. I COULDN'T FIGURE OUT WHAT IT WAS SO AFTER TAKING A QUICK LOOK I KEPT DRIVING. EVERY TIME I PUT THE CLUTCH IN I HEARD A LOUD CREAK OR SQUEAK. IT GOT WORSE OVER THE NEXT MONTHS. YESTERDAY, I REALIZED THAT THE FIREWALL HAD CRACKED WHERE THE CLUTCH AND BRAKE PEDAL MOUNT. THE METAL FLEXES WHEN CLUTCHING OR BRAKING. IF I USE THE CLUTCH I CAN SEE THE BRAKE PEDAL MOVE ABOUT HALF AN INCH BACK. I DO NOT BELIEVE THIS ALLOWS THE CLUTCH TO FULLY DEPRESS AND I THINK THAT IF I HAVE TO MAKE AN EMERGENCY STOP THE CRACK COULD GET WORSE AND TEAR NOT ALLOWING THE CAR TO STOP AT ALL. *TR
