WHEN I FIRST PURCHASED MY VEHICLE, I NOTICED THAT THE VEHICLE WOULD MAKE A GRINDING SOUND LIKE METAL ON METAL WHEN I WOULD PUSH THE BRAKES TO STOP. THIS FIRST HAPPENED AT AROUND 2K MILES. I SPOKE WITH THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT. THEY ASKED ME A QUESTION, THEY ASKED "HOW OFTEN DO YOU DRIVE THE VEHICLE?" THEN THEY PROCEEDED TO TELL ME THAT "IF YOU DONOT DRIVE IT ENOUGH, IT IS RUST ON THE ROTORS CAUSING THIS NOISE." THEY TOLD ME THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH IT AND THAT WAS THAT. I LATER ON TOOK MY VEHICLE IN WITH THE SAME COMPLAINT AT AROUND 10K MILES WHEN I WANTED TO HAVE MY OIL CHANGED AND MY TIRES ROTATED. I WANTED THEM TO CHECK MY BRAKING SYSTEM WHILE DOING THAT. AFTER SERVICE WAS DONE, THEY INFORMED ME THAT NO ISSUES WERE FOUND WITH MY BRAKES, OR THE BRAKING SYSTEM. MY VEHICLE STILL MAKES THE NOISE WHEN I PUSH THE BREAKS. I AM NOT SURE IF THERE IS ANYONE ELSE HAVING THIS ISSUE, BUT THE ISSUE IS STILL HAPPENING TO ME. *TR

I ACCELERATED FROM A TRAFFIC LIGHT, FROM A FULL STOP. AT APPROXIMATELY 20 MPH I DEPRESSED FULLY THE CLUTCH PEDAL IN ORDER TO SHIFT INTO 2ND GEAR. THE CLUTCH PEDAL REMAINED IN THE FULLY DEPRESSED POSITION AND DID NOT RETURN TO THE RAISED POSITION. THE GEAR SHIFT LEVER COULD NOT BE MOVED INTO ANY GEAR, BUT COULD BE MOVED FREELY WITHIN THE NEUTRAL POSITION. I RAISED THE CLUTCH PEDAL BY PLACING THE TIP OF MY SHOE UNDER IT AND PULLING UPWARD, BUT NO CHANGE WAS OBSERVED IN THE OPERATION OF THE GEAR SHIFT LEVER. I COULD START, AND TURN OFF THE ENGINE AS USUAL, THUS I HAD POWER BRAKES AND POWER STEERING AS I PUSHED THE CAR AND THEN COASTED TO A STORE'S PARKING LOT. I HAD THE CAR TOWED HOME. THERE WAS NO CHANGE IN THE OPERATION OF THE GEAR SHIFT LEVER OR THE CLUTCH PEDAL AFTER THE CAR HAD BEEN PARKED OVERNIGHT. THE CLUTCH PEDAL REMAINS FULLY DEPRESSED, UNLESS ONE RAISES IT. THE CONDITION DESCRIBED ABOVE HAS NOT AFFECTED THE OPERATION OF THE STARTER INTERLOCK, THUS THE ENGINE WILL NOT START UNLESS THE CLUTCH PEDAL IS FULLY DEPRESSED. *TR

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
