Clutch Failure

[merlinhorse]

I have had two Forester's and so far had to replace three clutches after using them for 6,500 miles each.

I have contacted customer service but they seem to suggest NO one else has any problems - They acknowledged my recent submission on the 4th of April and said they would reply in 5 working days, - so far no reply!   Both vehicles are ex demo models under three years old at the time of failure. Are there any other members with the same problem?

Exact models please, diesel/petrol etc, also what usage ? towing as example !

Have seen very little clutch issues in general, dual mass flywheels can be a problem. driving style can be a problem.

When inspected what is failing in clutch assembly & what symptoms do you get !?

Hi mate welcome to S.O.C 

Sorry to hear about the problems :( I've never heard of anyone burning through that many clutches in that short of time :( 

I would have to ask what do you use them for ?

Wotcha and welcome - that is a shame - again I have not heard of people going through clutches like that
