Consumer writes in regards to vehicle clutch issues *tgw the consumer stated while sitting in traffic, she began to smell transmission fluid and then an electrical burning smell. Then a yellow light illuminated on the dashboard and there was smoke coming from under the hood on the passenger side. The police and fire truck were called to the scene. The fire fighter lifted the hood and there was a smell of transmission fluid and a burning electrical smell, but the smoke had dissipated and there was no fire. The vehicle was towed to the dealer.
