New Kia rio5...drove 5 times, went to shift down & load clunking noise then dead
What is your question?
The dealership won't honor the warrenty because I burnt out the clutch. Actually I was driving very well and shifting fine. The last time I drove. I was.shifting down for a light and it made a horrible and loud clunking sound and came to a dad stop. I put it in first and it made the same sound an would not move. Since my that back of my car was sticking in another lane with traffic ...i pressed as hard as.i could on gas and clutch and it moved just enough and ... Then I smelled it burning...this was the first and only time that I smelt it burning. I am not sure what could have happened initially...but I thought it was running hot when this happened. I felt the gears just locked up. I also notice something leaking under the car. I know I did not burn out the clutch so what else could have happened? A response would be appreciated. It is a 2016.
.so I prssed
. end was in another end

No...they did not say anything. There was also a leak under the car which I asked them to look into and let me know but they did not. It took them about 3 days of work on the car...is it really that hard to change a clutch? The car has a 150 miles on it.
I think I would be getting a few more details , including a visual inspection of old parts (take some pictures to eventually show to someone who knows cars , maybe to verify what they aren't telling you? 150 miles , they must be claiming some sort of abuse or mishandling? Hard to believe even a KIA couldn't last more than 150 miles , even if it was run hard!
Thank- you so much. I am going to ask for a detailed maintenance sheet. I have the car back and do not like driving it. It seems to over react when you move forward in first... It revs loudly and surges forward...
