So, let me tell you about my car...

A little under a year ago, less than 11 months to be exact, we bought a new car to replace the dying Saturn (sniff sniff)

We purchased a Matrix XRS 6-speed manual transmission.

As said, it is now eleven months later. There are almost 18K miles on the car. Wednesday, the transmission began to die. By thursday evening... mostly not drivable. Friday ( Read more... )

toyota, aries

how many times that line or one similar (A*B=C) has come up in the past weekend. :)

and this is why Brad and I for the past eight years Brad and I only buy from Saturn. Cars and the customer service are always outstanding.

Sorry you're going through this hon. Keep us posted about the f*cknuts.

I had my Camaro's clutch replaced for free when it had less than 300 miles on it...I WAS RACING and had a full car with guys over 200 lbs. Sue the fuckers!

Right! A clutch SHOULD NOT go out that early! I know that a clutch is a part that is subject to wear and is not covered under warrantly HOWEVER this is the original clutch and it didn't even last a YEAR!! This should be a recall issue! Hook up with other matrix owners and file a lawsuit!

hey, just was talking to another matrix owner to see if he'd heard of this. He said he had and gave me this URL to report such things http://www-odi.nhtsa.dot.gov/cars/problems/complain/ Might help get a recall to fix it.
