Description of the problem	Driving at city speeds ~20mph at only 12k miles, clutch pedal suddenly became stiff, and was unable to shift gears. Had to have car towed to dealership where i was informed by the dealership that the clutch had fused to the flywheel (i do not trust that this was an accurate, complete diagnosis). About 2 years later (end of 07/2014) and only around 35k miles, was driving on the interstate 2 hours away from home ( at ~65mph), and when i exited to get gas, the pedal once more became instantly stiff out of nowhere and was nearly unable to get the car off the road. Had to have the car towed from dealer to dealer until it was in my home city. The dealer then again told me that the clutch and flywheel had gone out.
