Description of the problem	The clutch on my 5 speed 2009 hyundai sonata is sporadically dropping to the floor and not allowing me to change gears. I was nearly hit from behind, as the car behind me assumed i'd be accelerating, but when the clutch drops (without much resistance) the linkage locks and i can't change gears. I took it to the dealer today, and he said they had no problem with it, but the after-market floor mat was causing the clutch pedal to get caught. I removed the floor mat when i went to pick-up my car (service department was closed for the day), and, in their parking lot, going from 1st to 2nd gear, the clutch pedal dropped to the floor and i could not change gears, until i hit the clutch a few more times! I went inside to complain to the sales staff. They said i had to bring it in tomorrow. Apparently, hyundai is having lots of problems with their clutches, but they refuse to fix it, because it is costly to take apart the transmission to see what is wrong. We bought the car because of the 10-year power-train warranty! This is dangerous and is an accident waiting to happen!
