Consumer Description

SON HAD JUST PURCHASED CAR. TOOK THE CAR TO AN AREA WHICH HAD AN UNPLOWED PARKING AREA TO TEST THE HANDLING OF THE CAR IN THE SNOW. CAR DIED WHILE DRIVING AND THERE WAS AN IMMEDIATE STRONG SMELL OF THE CLUTCH BURNING. COULD NOT START THE CAR WITH THE CAR IN GEAR AND THE CLUTCH PUSHED IN. CAR WOULD ONLY START IN NEUTRAL. WHEN CAR STARTED COULD NOT GET THE CAR TO GO INTO GEAR. WAS ABLE TO GET THE CAR PUSH STARTED AND DRIVEN APPROX. 0.2 MILES TO A SECURE AREA AND THEN HAD CAR TOWED TO DEALERSHIP WHERE THE CLUTCH WAS FOUND TO BE BURNED OUT. DEALERSHIP CLAIMS IT WAS DRIVER'S ERROR BUT THEY SENT PICTURES TO ME AND IT LOOKS LIKE THE DAMAGE DOES NOT LINE UP WITH WHAT THEY SAY THE PROBLEM WAS. *TR
