DT: CONSUMER SATES: HE HAD A CLUTCH PLATE AND A SHAFT REPLACED ON THE TRANSMISSION IN OCTOBER 2004. IN THE PAST WHEN HE WAS PULLING AN R.V. TRAILER HE HAD NO PROBLEM PULLING THE MOUNTAIN PASSES (IN OREGON). AFTER HE HAD THE PARTS REPLACED, WHILE PULLING A MOUNTAIN PASS,GOING APPROX. 45 MPH, HE LOST THE CLUTCH. IT WENT STRAIGHT TO THE FLOOR. HE WAS ABLE TO GET OFF THE ROAD. THE NEXT MORNING, AFTER THE ENGINE HAD COOLED THE CLUTCH WAS FINE. THE DEALERSHIP CAN'T SEE ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE CLUTCH, BECAUSE THEY TEST IT WHEN THE ENGINE IS COLD. THE MANUFACTURER SAID HE WOULD HAVE TO TAKE IT UP WITH THE DEALERSHIP. *NM

No unusual pattern of severe incidents in the complaint record.
Complaint counts track how many cars were sold and how long they have been on the road as much as they track quality. A common model from 2013 has had a decade to accumulate reports; a rare one from last year has not. The signal worth weighing is in the severity columns, in whether the same component keeps appearing, and in whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.
Most recent recall on file: none. Source: NHTSA Office of Defects Investigation.
