The fiat had the recommended recall fix for maual transmission performed in 2017. while driving on a city street, the clutch would not disengage properly. gears could only be changed with the car completely stopped and the engine off. repair identified the problem "pressure plate fingers have failed because of s34 recall. this ruined the clutch plate causing shifitng issues."

Car started sounding bad and one night the clutch got stuck so i took it to the mechanic who informed me there is a safety recall on the clutch. dealership is an hour away and wouldn't cover towing "unless they were sure it was a recall issue" so either i could pay for towing (i don't have money for that) or drive it in. no mention that driving it could cause additional damage not covered. so i drove it in with the bad clutch. took it to the dealership then and they agreed to cover the replacement of the clutch. when they started repairs, they noticed damage to the fork shaft and transmission, which would not be covered under the recall. $2400. i googled the recall to find out details and the recall exists because they know the clutch problem causes damage to the transmission. so i really don't understand why they won't cover it once the damage has been done.
