Description of the problem | In the days preceding 4/12/2019, my car's clutch pedal became soft. The pedal went soft over night, but also after driving down the highway for a few minutes. The dealer completed the repairs on 7/23/2019 after two attempts and many weeks of waiting for parts. The parts that were replace were the clutch pipe, elbow, master cylinder, and slave cylinder. While the car is branded a chevrolet, it is materially identical to vehicles sold in europe as either an opel astra or vauxhall astra. The engine was made in hungary, and the transmission was made in austria. Since the beginning of this year, vauxhall has had a recall to replace these same parts and some of the hydraulic brake system parts for the same engine/transmission combination as in my 2017 cruze diesel with manual transmission. It is my opinion that other cars with this same engine/transmission will likely have the same soft clutch pedal which could lead to an inability to control the transmission and/or brakes. I believe gm should be compelled to recall these vehicles and fix them before a serious accident occurs. |
