Consumer Description

THE CLUTCH GAVE OUT IN RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC AS I WAS DOWNSHIFTING TO ENTER A TRAFFIC CIRCLE. THE CLUTCH PEDAL BECAME STIFF AND I WAS ABLE TO GET THE CAR INTO NEUTRAL, BUT COULD NOT PUT THE CAR BACK IN GEAR, OR DEPRESS THE CLUTCH PEDAL FULLY. ACCORDING TO THE MECHANIC, THE PRESSURE PLATE CRACKED DUE TO IT BEING MANUFACTURED WITH LOW-QUALITY METAL. THE CAR HAS ONLY 43,000 MILES ON IT.
