NHTSA Complaint #11208158 — 2013 SCION FR-S

I NOTICED MY CLUTCH WOULD NOT SHIFT INTO GEAR SMOOTHLY ANYMORE AND I BABY MY CLUTCH ALL THE TIME. ONE DAY WHEN I WAS DRIVING HOME I SMELLED SOMETHING BURNING AND THEN MY CAR WOULD NOT GO EVEN THOUGH IT WAS IN GEAR. I MANAGED TO GET MY CAR TO DRIVE AGAIN AND IT WAS FINE. THE NEXT DAY I WENT TO LEAVE MY HOUSE AND I GOT AROUND THE CORNER AND MY CAR WOULD NOT COME OUT OF FIRST GEAR AND WOULD NOT GO OVER 5 MPH. I TOWED IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEANUAL TRANSMISSION BEARING SCREW BROKE AND MADE MY TRANSMISSION SEIZE UP WITH LESS THAN 50,000 MILES.FOR THEM TO DO THE WORK IT COSTED 1500. I HAVE TAKEN MY CAR IN FOR THE CLUTCH NOT SHIFTING RIGHT BEFORE AND THEY SAID NOTHING WAS WRONG. I KNOW A COUPLE PEOPLE WITH THE SAME CAR AND THEY HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM SO I LOOKED INTO 2013 SCION FR-S MANUAL TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS AND I HAVE FOUND THAT THE TRANSMISSION HAS THIS PROBLEM WITH A LOT OF THE VEHICLE. MY CAR WAS IN MOTION WHEN IT FINALLY GAVE OUT ON ME I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE CITY STREET AND THEN MY CAR JUST STOPPED MOVING AND I HAD TO PUSH IT BACK TO MY HOUSE. I WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET WHEN IT HAPPENED I WAS PULLING UP TO A RED LIGHT SO O WAS SLOWING DOWN AND THEN I COULDN'T MOVE AGAIN. I ASKED IF THEY HAVE A RECALL ON IT AND THEY SAID NO SO I ASKED THE DEALERSHIP IF THERE IS A WAY FOR THEM TO REPLACE THE THEOWOUT BEARING SINCE IT WAS A SCREW THAT BROKE AND CAUSED IT TO SEIZE THE TRANSMISSION AND THEY SAID NOT EVEN THOUGH THEY KNEW THAT THE CAR HAS THE PROBLEM WITH IT.
