The repairs are being done under warranty. I had a 4-year original warranty and we are still in that period. I also have an extended warranty but don't know if it would be covered.
Well, my '07 just started slipping yesterday. Was accelerating onto the freeway in 5th when the slipping began. I can repeat by accelerating full throttle from 3000 RPM in 5th.

Car has 48K on the clock so I hope this truly can be a warranty repair. I also have the 4 year warranty.

The clutch should not fail this early and I suspect the actual problem is the pressure plate.
