2013 Infiniti g37s broke down leaving Vegas

2013 Infiniti g37s broke down leaving Vegas.
I am the second owner. The vehicle has around 29,000 miles. The clutch just gave out.
Park place Infiniti in Vegas is charging me $3000 dollars to fix. Has this happened to anyone. $3000 to fix is absurdly high. I'm stranded here in Vegas with my gf and running low on funds. Any tips on how to reduce this cost. Thank you!

Is it still under warranty? Sounds like it might be.

They say it's not covered under warranty because it's a maintenance problem just like breaks. But I do know for a fact I still qualify under manufacture warranty in general.

Might check a Nissan dealer in Vegas. Sorry to hear about this, $3k does sound insane. I bought our current G from them when it was Tobin Infiniti, not an honest place for sure!

You don't have to be confined to just a dealer
Any shop can replace the clutch and save you a good amount
Shop around a bit. Should be able to get that cost to under 1500

29k clutch isn't premature. That isn't a maintenance problem. I would contact corporate

Wow they said it was like brakes? Clutchs shouldn't be going out at that mileage maybe it's just the slave cylinder which is really common because Nissan did a crappy job with it. Good luck I spent about 2k on my clutch including labor and parts at aamco and using aftermarket parts (JWT) from conceptzperformance

If one of the components has broken and caused the failure, then you may be able to claim under the warranty. Regrettably, if there is no evidence of manufacturing or material defect, you will have to pay for the new clutch..
