I'm submitting this complaint on behalf of my father-in-law Emmanuel Catania who just over a year ago (28th March 2008) bought a Getz car 5Dr and recently suffered clutch failure. Car was taken to Getz agentz in Malta for repairs and it transpired that clutch was 'burnt' out and the agent did not want to cover this under the car guarantee as they said it was his fault!

The car has only 1080 KM milage over a period of 18 months since distances are short in Malta - so at this rate this means this that my in-law has to change the clutch practically every year !!!

This is absolutely ridiculour. My father-in-law has owned 2 other cars before a Triump and Renault and never in their life span did he have to change a cluth.

Evidently this was a manufacturing defect. I've also been trying to find the company's contact details to put the complaint directly to them but searches on the internet has proved futile.

Very disapointing indeed and my father-in-law would surely not be promting this car!
