About These NHTSA Complaints:
This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
Numerous times I have been unable start the vehicle due to being unable to push the clutch in far enough. I have had to remove my shoes to be able to push the clutch in far enough for the switch to activate and start the vehicle. I also have had problems when in traffic and the 'self-adjusting' clutch fails and stalls the vehicle.
My car has 30,000 miles and the clutch has burned out. The dealership is refusing to repair without charge to me. They want $1084. My car is only 2 years and I'm the original owner.
