Hi all,
I have a question about the gear system, specifically about the clutch. I owned a corolla 2008 with robotic transmission, last year on Feb. 2014 I had this problem that the gear system put the car on blinking "N" when the car was at lower gear, especially at crossroads or slow turns, traffic jams... , and I should wait for 10-15 min for the gear system to "cool". So I was told to replace the clutch system and this was after 150,000Km (the original clutch that came with the car). Nowadays , this problem appears again and I drove only 18,000Km.
Again I took the car to the garage and I was told that I suppose to replace the clutch system again (the car is care at an official retailer garage). So once again I paid for the repair (1000$ last year an 1000$ this year).
But , I started to file a complaint to "Toyota overseas" and the official importer of toyota in my country.
I wonder if I can find some statistics of the rate failure of this clutch system, do I have so bad luck that the clutch run out only after 18,000Km ? Is it normal ? how can I know that the retailer didn't fool me with and old clutch system from spare parts (I requested to keep my old clutch system) ?
