Consumer Description

I EXPERIENCED A CATASTROPHIC MANUAL TRANSMISSION FAILURE AT 38,324 MILES. THE CAUSE WAS A SEIZED BEARING/BUSHING THAT SUBSEQUENTLY CAUSED THE CLUTCH CABLE TO BREAK WHEN I ATTEMPTED TO SHIFT GEARS (I WAS ACCELERATING AWAY FROM A STOPLIGHT ON NJ STATE HIGHWAY 46E AT TIME OF FAILURE). REPAIR COST WAS ~$1K, BUT UPON COMPLAINING, THE DEALERSHIP PROVIDED THE PARTS (GOODWILL) AND I PAID THE LABOR: $600 OUT-OF-POCKET. THEIR RECEIPT COPY INDICATED THAT THE PARTS WERE BEING REPORTED AS A WARRANTY REPAIR.*AK
