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.
