NHTSA Complaint #10934326 — 2006 CHEVROLET HHR

WHILE TRAVELING A MAJOR INTERSTATE HIGHWAY TO WORK, I BEGAN TO MERGE ONTO THE EXIT RAMP. WHILE DOWNSHIFTING MY MANUAL TRANSMISSION, THE CLUTCH SUDDENLY LOST TENSION AND WENT THROUGH THE FLOOR. I HAD TO COAST DOWN THE EXIT RAMP, COAST ALONG ANOTHER ROAD BEFORE PULLING INTO A PARKING SPACE. WHEN I LOOKED UNDER THE HOOD TO SEE WHAT HAPPENED, I REALIZED THAT THE CLUTCH HAD COME LOOSE FROM AND BROKEN THROUGH THE FIREWALL. I WAS FORTUNATE NOT TO HAVE HAD AN ACCIDENT WHEN THIS HAPPENED.
