 The dash melted last year and of course it was out of warranty.  Fortunately, the dealer agreed to cover the cost of the part while I had to pay the labor ($302).  Yesterday I had to take the car in for a complete clutch replacement, also out of warranty, for an amount of $1600.   I've learned that the replacement clutch is a redesigned assembly, most certainly as a result of a flawed original design.  What other stock vehicle needs a clutch replacement at 34k miles?
