What owners report
Short excerpts of NHTSA complaints in the original wording. These are owner statements not verified by NHTSA; personal data removed.
Additionally, the clutch emitted heavy smoke, obscuring the driver's vision and road visibility. The vehicle was towed to the dealer. The dealer diagnosed that the clutch was worn out and needed replacement due to normal wear and tear. The manufacturer was notified of the failure by phone.
Clutch slipping causing the inability to accelerate when needed
The clutch is slipping while driving I have had it happen when shifting to 3rd, 4th, and 5th.
The car revved up then nearly stalled about 3 times then threw a check engine light for a random cylinder misfire and disabled the forward collision warning system. The car has always had issues with nearly dying during cold starts below about 40F but this is the first time it has thrown a code.
