Business ProfileforNorth Bakersfield Toyota

I have owned my 2023 Gr corolla for a year now and it currently has ****** miles. ** Monday july 29th on my way home from work i started the notice my rpms would go from 2000 up to 6000 rpms while trying to accelerate in any gear. When i got home i smelled a burning smell. That evening i dropped the vehicle off and was informed that north bakersfield toyota would look into the issue tuesday morning. Tuesday comes around and they give me a call back saying they didnt detect any issues. I pick up the vehicle and the same issue exists. Thursday august 1st i took the car back to toyota this time with video proof. I get a text message back later on that day and they say the shop ******* now sees what the issue is and that they would need to tear the clutch apart and possibly replace the entire clutch kit and i would pay out of pocket because that is considered normal wear and tear like breaks. Total cost for repair quoted by toyota is $6,482.97. I do not believe that is normal for a clutch to go out within ***** miles. Ive been driving manuals for 16 years. I daily drive the vehicle to work and home. I do not ride the clutch, i do not abuse the vehicle. I believe if i take care of the car, the car will take care of me. This is a known issue in the ** corolla community and seems to be common in the 2023 model all stating that the clutch has issues within ***** miles. I did receive help from one of the service representative who gave me a number to contact Toyota engagement but my claim was also denied. I informed the representative that i spoke to that this is a common issue that even one of the service representatives stated 2 fellow employees had the same issue with their clutches but they opted to just pay out of pocket. People have also reported that the 2024 model clutch is different from the 2023.
