About These NHTSA Complaints:
The NHTSA is the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints can be spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem. See the Back button — blue bar at the very top of the page — to explore more.
The vehicle has a manual gearbox and the clutch pedal is very stiff to operate. This combined with a fairly long travel could require short divers to position their seat very close to the steering wheel in order to get enough leverage in their leg to fully depress the clutch pedal prior to staring the engine. The incident date is non-specific as this is an ongoing issue. I have raised my concern with the local dealer and was advised that they cannot reduce the stiffness of the clutch action or reposition the engine disconnect switch (so that the pedal does not need to be pressed to the floor).
