They are claiming abuse and not k owing how to drive I have benn driving a stick for 40 years I own 4 manual tranasmission cars. Sorry for the demeanor but thesePost a pic of the service work order. I am curious to see why they are saying it's not covered.
My apologies to anyone about the frustration I am having please don't take it the wrong way. I just bought a 2000 honda civic. I graduated as an A mechanic from school. I have driven stick all my life from Volkswagens to full blown race cars. This its totally unacceptable pressure plate was slightly scored along with the flywheel clutch was worn. all wears marks on clutch were still there. the failure was one of 4 things. Either the pressure plate was defective, The clutch delay valve is not operating properly and not fully releasing the pressure plate causing clutch to slip and wear, undersized clutch components for the car or its a stretch but defective steel on components just like their rotors. I'm not looking to piss anyone off I'm looking for help and I want anybody that intends on buying this car doesn't get stuck with the same problem. this problem almost caused a major accident because in trying to get on the parkway the clutch slipped and car did not accelerate. Then the clutch engaged and almost sent it into a tree. This is out of control. Honda couldn't care less. Just on principle alone a 8 week car with 2500 miles should be fixed and maybe Honda should get to the bottom of it before someone gets seriously hurt or killed.Turn off the caps lock, and your post will be much easier to read as a need instead of a furious rant.
I test drove a stock 2019 Si with 20 miles on it. I gave it a little throttle in 6th gear on the interstate going 70mph, and the clutch slipped! I tried it again a couple minutes later to see if I was crazy, and it slipped again. I told the salesman, babied the car back to the dealership, and was shocked. I was not remotely abusing this car, just passing in traffic. The OEM clutch should be able to stand up to this.
