Consumer Description

MY MECHANIC TOLD ME TO REPORT THIS PROBLEM. I HAVE A 2003 SATURN ION AND AS I WAS DRIVING THE CLUTCH PEDAL SNAPPED UP ALMOST TO THE DASH. I WAS BARELY ABLE TO GET MY LEG UP HIGH ENOUGH TO PUSH IT BACK DOWN TO SHIFT. IT WOULD STAY DOWN FOR AWHILE THEN DO IT AGAIN SOMETIMES AS HIGH SOMETIMES ABOUT HALF WAY UP. THE PEDAL NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE CAR HAS 109,000 MILES ON IT. HE HAD A HARD TIME GETTING PARTS FOR IT BECAUSE IT WAS OUT OF STOCK AND ON BACK ORDER AT MOST PLACES. THIS IS A REAL SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE WHEN IT FIRST HAPPENED I COMPLETELY MISSED THE CLUTCH AND JUST PULLED IT OUT OF GEAR WITHOUT SHIFTING. THE PEDAL WAS UP BY THE DASH AND MY FOOT WENT UNDER IT. I AM GLAD I WASNT ON A HIGHWAY. SINCE THE PARTS ARE ON BACK ORDER MY MECHANIC THINKS IT MIGHT NEED A RECALL.
