    The car has been making a noise for over a year, while it was still under warranty i was told it was no big deal, but now it has cascaded into a full transmission failure. My car is only 4 years old and doesn't even have 100,000 miles yet.i bought a hybrid so it would last longer, not shorter than the average car

    Air conditioning clutch broke off the compressor. Since the car is only 4 years old, i don't think it should have happened. Has this happened to other cars that are less than 5 years old? The system worked one day and not the next. Only record i have is the bill that i paid to have it fixed.
