7 month old Jetta Problem - 9/9/2008 5:08:15 PM

I have a 2008 Jetta purchased in February. It only has 4,500 - 4,600 miles on it. It is manual transmission. Last night while driving I was unable to get it in anything but 5th gear and the clutch actually stuck to the floor and I had to lift it up. I was close to home and made it home and had it towed to a dealer this morning. This afternoon I get a call requesting permission for them to pull the transmission tomorrow and that it might not be covered under warranty, which would cost at a minimum $700. There was no burning smell as if the clutch was burnt out and I am more than a little upset that I may have to pay $700 plus only 7 month and 4,500 miles after purchasing the car. This is not my first manual transmission and I have never had a clutch or transmission problem before.

My question is has this happened to any other Jetta owners and if anyone knows what I could have done in such a short time and distance to make this not a warranty issue?

Any and all help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

I would tell them to pull it with warranty covered approval otherwise its a blank check to screw you, that new of a car shouldnt have any issues, damn less than 5000? VW better take care of you, demand it be covered under warranty or recall, thats BS....
