I bought my cart about 19 months ago off the showroom floor from Cars and Clubs. I had a clutch slippage issue with two people on the cart from the start. They once told me they changed the clutch which they did not. They put three or four different belts and spring on the cart and it still "slipped and bumped". Then Ted told me Yamaha would not cover the warranty and replace my clutch so I called Yamaha. I got no where with Yamaha Customer Service and they were VERY "matter of fact". They said..."we make carts to go 15 MPH" "The dealer you mention modifies the cart with large tires and high speed gears and that voids our warranty". I called Ted and he blew up using profanity and he told me Yamaha had changed clutches with the 2012 and one half carts and "if I wanted the cart fixed it would cost $225 for the new clutch" and there was nothing else he could do. I finally had no other choice so I paid the $225 and bought the new clutch but I have turned in a complaint to the FL Office of Consumer Affairs. YOU NEED TO BE AWARE THAT IF YOU PURCHASE A NEW YAMAHA GOLF CAR AND IT HAS BEEN MODIFIED TO GO 20 MPH BY THE DEALER WITH HIGH SPEED GEARS AND LARGER 10" TIRES THEN YAMAHA WILL NOT WARRENTY YOUR CART. YOU HAD BETTER MAKE SURE THE DEALER IS WARRENTING THE CART BECAUSE HE WILL GET NO HELP FROM YAMAHA IN GEORGIA!
