Matrix 4-cyl

  • Manual transmission
  • 19,575 miles
Numerous times I have been unable start the vehicle due to being unable to push the clutch in far enough. I have had to remove my shoes to be able to push the clutch in far enough for the switch to activate and start the vehicle. I also have had problems when in traffic and the 'self-adjusting' clutch fails and stalls the vehicle.
