“Throw Out Bearing”

Started hearing an odd, low “growl” when shifting.
Brought it in today, apparently the throw out bearing needs to be replaced.
2022, 3,500 miles.
Anyone else have similar issues/experiences?

Thanks

That's why there is a new car warranty. It's always possible to get a bad part that shows up pretty quickly.

I understand that, I was just curious if this was an issue that others had experienced.

The '22 model year cars are so new, I doubt you'll see much chatter about any issues with them. That being said, the third gen cars have been pretty reliable to date. I can't say I've heard of any big issues with those cars.

This.

Best to have something fail early on and have it be covered by warranty. Parts do fail from time to time; it's unusual, but not a big deal.
