“Me and my daughter where driving to federal express to drop of some packages. As I approached the stop light I pressed in the clutch and it popped really loud and I almost rearended a cadillac escalade. I swerved right to avoid hitting him and continued down the road and took the truck out of gear and coasted into the fed ex parking lot. My father-in-law is a Toyota mechanic and he said the support plate for the clutch and brake had broke in 2 different places. He took the plate out showed me where it had broke and welded it back together. …”
