I love my new 147GTA, but............
I recently took my 147GTA in for service because the clutch suddenly gave in. The dealer is claiming that driver technique has caused the part to fail and will not repair it under warranty.
The car only has 6,000km on the clock and has not been mistreated. Being the only driver of the vehicle, I can say that I do not ride the clutch.
When the gearbox was dropped from the car, it was revealed that the pressure plate was broken in 4 places.
The dealer says they have never seen this before and think it happened because of abuse. I have suggested that pehaps the clutch was worn and burnt because it was spinning against the sharp edges of a broken pressure plate. The daeler will not even consider this possibility
Has anyone else experienced this problem? I would like to hear from you (especially if you have a vehicle with the V6 engine)
