Shitty Clutch
My 2005 Jetta has a broken pressure plate in the clutch. The incindent must have happened while it sitting after being driven, because I parked it and it was acting fine, then I got back in later and it wasn’t working. The car has only 15K miles on it and is less than 2 years old. I don’t drive the car hard and only drive about 10 miles a day, and I have been driving manual for 12 years. VW is refusing to honour the warranty and is telling me the clutch problem is my fault. I have never heard of a clutch going in 15K miles, even if I was a terrible manual driver which I am not. I have researched this problem on the web, and it looks quite common for these cheaply made VW clutches to break down and for VW to find a way to not honor the warranty. I need help standing up against them.

Hire A Lawyer – Whenever you have to deal with VWoA the first thing you should do is retain the services of a lawyer. VWoA will not stand behind their product. VWoA has had billion dollar or near billion dollar losses for several years now. Talk at VAG now is: “” If we stay in North America”".
If you prevail with VWoA and they fix the clutch, get rid of the car as soon as you can.
If you do not prevail with VWoA, get rid of the car as soon as you can.
Owning a VW will bring you nothing but misery.

Class Action Lawsuits – You may also want to check if there are any class action lawsuits in regards to your particular problem. There are so many class action lawsuits against VW now that there is probably one for your situation. Good luck.

- So according to the dealer, how was it your fault such that they voided your warranty?
