| My clutch started slipping around 36000 miles. i hadn't thought anything about it at first, thinking it was my imagination as i had the car only 3 years. (2006 kia spectra5. i purchased it at the end of november 2006 with 7 miles on it.). well, 4000 miles later i am told it needs the entire clutch and flywheel replaced. i have driven manual cars for years. the warranty will not cover the replacement ($1300) even though it is 10 yr/100000 miles as they consider the clutch a wear item. i tried to argue with the dealer that it wasn't wear after just 3 years. i tried to complain to corporate but the number is bogus (800-333-4541). i have replaced the front tires twice in 3 years. good year eagles and the brakes twice. it is a front wheel drive. *tr | |||
