May 4, 2006 I was traveling on West academy/green St. Northbound. The clutch had just been replaced for the second time and it malfunctioned again. (it literally sucks to the floorboard with no play to disengage to neutral, this had happened to my husband twice prior, I panicked didn't see the red light or stopped traffic and slammed into the car stopped in front of me at an estimated speed on 40 mph never hitting the brakes. The damage to the car was severe with an insurance pay out just shy of $10,000 dollars. The damage was only to the front of the car, no airbags deployed (there are eight airbags in the front passenger compartment) I was restrained by the seat belt. It was not enough for me not to be injured, I hit the steering wheel and gear shift causing severe bruising to my arms, legs, chest and a bump on the head.

The clutch in the consumer's 2004 Nissan Maxima went to the floor. The vehicle's clutch went to the floor which did not allow the consumer to shift gear and resulted in the vehicle slowing down to a stop. The consumer could force the transmission into the next gear but worried about the damage to the gears. The vehicle was taken to the dealer but they were unable to find anything wrong. The problem occurred each day the vehicle was driven.
