Chevy Clutch Disintegration Attorneys

You often hear drivers who own manual transmission vehicles say that they enjoy feeling like they're in control of the car when they switch gears and feel the acceleration as they travel down the road. The clutch of the vehicle is an integral part of the mechanical make-up of a manual transmission vehicle. Without the clutch, the vehicle would not work at all. But what happens when the clutch of a relatively new vehicle has the potential to disintegrate while the car is in motion? That's exactly what may be happening in certain models of GM's V6 Chevrolet Camaro.

The potential clutch defect has been noted in vehicles with low miles and no abuse which could mean that there may have been a flaw in the clutch design or manufacturing processes. So far, while General Motors is aware of the problem, they have yet to issue a recall.

A vehicle's clutch allows the transmission to properly receive the torque transfer from the internal combustion engine. The clutch separates the engine and transmission at certain times to allow the driver to change gears. In addition, the clutch is also responsible for ensuring that the engine doesn't "stall," or come out of gear and stop unexpectedly.

Because the clutch plays such an important role in the proper function of a manual transmission vehicle, the risks associated with unexpected clutch disintegration are substantial. If a vehicle is in motion, especially on a busy freeway where vehicle speeds may reach up to 65mph or more, sudden clutch collapse or disintegration may place a driver and other motorists in serious danger. When the clutch goes out, a driver cannot switch gears. Not only that, the power steering of the vehicle could stop working, leaving the driver virtually helpless and in danger of colliding with a center divider, another vehicle, or other objects such as guardrails. The high speed that a car may be traveling on a freeway combined with loss of vehicle control presents serious risk of catastrophic injury and even a fatal car accident.

Car accident injuries can have life altering affects on the victim and may require around-the-clock care, extensive rehabilitation, surgery or other medical procedures. In addition, the financial and emotional impact that serious injuries have on a victim and their family members can increase the stress in an already difficult situation. Some injuries that can be sustained in an auto accident caused by a defective vehicle part may include:

• Spinal cord injury
• Paralysis
• Nerve damage
• Head trauma/brain damage
• Broken bones
• Injury to internal organs
• Burns
• Loss of limbs

Because of the financial and emotional burden that these types of injuries can create, victims may not always see the light at the end of the tunnel. However, an experienced Pennsylvania auto accident attorney will be able to help the victim understand their legal rights and seek monetary compensation for their injuries. While no dollar amount will be able to turn back the clock, victims of accidents caused by clutch disintegration or other vehicle defects may find comfort in the knowledge that they don't have to travel this journey alone.
