1 Clutch Pedal/linkage problem

Failure Date: 09/01/2014

Clutch pedal stayed low to the floor intermittently and stays low durning hard acceleration for a stop and during a shift. The 9/1/2014 incident I was on the interstate going 70 mph and down shifted for exiting. The clutch stayed to the floor as I came to a stop and would not return. Car was turned off and restarted. Clutch still did not return to operating position. I had to speed shift the vehicle to drive it to a dealer for repair. Repair was not covered by the warranty and has not been recalled. I believe this is a manufacturing defect and a safety issue. If a driver panicked in this situation it could have resulted in injury to the driver and passengers in the car and possibly other travelers.

2 Clutch Pedal/linkage problem

Failure Date: 08/15/2011

Tried to shift gear to first but the gear wouldnt engage. Clutch pedal was stuck to the floor and not releasing. Towed car to dealership and after inspection I was informed that the clutch was worn and the pressure plate and flywheel had to be replaced. Final cost $1965. 77. Not covered under warranty. 10/15/11 the same problem has occurred less than thirty days after repairs. Drove car 200 yards and clutch pedal was stuck once again, gear wont engage. Discovered fluid leakage. Taking car back to dealership hoping to get a refund.

3 Clutch Pedal/linkage problem

Failure Date: 09/21/2010

The ay6 manual transmission is missing and grinding while attempting to shift into the second gear during engine operation above 5500 rpm. With the clutch pedal fully depressed shifting from first to second gear accommodates a violent grinding sound originating from the transmission area. The transmission does not have grinding/hesitation or missed shifting into any other gear, except the second gear. A vast majority of manual transmission v6 owners have been reporting the same issue. Some owners have gotten their transmissions replaced by gm only to have the same problem reoccur. This is a major safety issue as any missed shifts may lead to a serious accident.
