“Began losing clutch, clutch/brake assembly had the 2 connecting bolts broken in half. Have pictures. Clutch interlock arrived bad, bypassed it; now the power steering, engine light and eos lights stay on. Car engine died then cranked up on its own while driving 60mph stating high temp (pull over, turn engine off) - had been in the car less than 1 minute, just long enough to get to 60 on the highway. Now clutch interlock, and brake interlock must be replaced.”

“My complaint has to do with a safety recall sent to me for my car (Fiat 500 pop, 2015), dated back in june. This has not been addressed, and I've not been provided a fix in a reason time (it's almost september), and I find it difficult to believe that the parts are still not yet available, when it states that the issue may result in the inability to disengage the clutch, shift gears, and/or loss of motive power . . . Which could cause a crash without warning. Am I supposed to keep driving around myself and my 11 year old simply hoping it doesn't happen? …”
