 Description of the problemThis is my husbands car so i do not drive it regularly and i do not drive it like a race car. The car was in our garage all day until i left so nothing was overheated. I had driven about 5 miles at less than 50 mph along an access road, stopping for 3 red lights. I thought it was clutching oddly, but since i hadn't driven it much, i thought it was me. At the 4th red light the clutch went soft when i pressed it and only came back up half way but i was able to get moving, the clutch pedal rising less with each shift. My destination was just after the light and as i turned left across the traffic i lost the clutch completely as i went into 2nd gear. This left me coasting in neutral across two lanes of oncoming traffic and a dip and curve entrance that required a more momentum than i had. 1st and 2nd would not engage and i was able to grind it into 3rd and clear the lanes. I coasted into a parking spot and the clutch was completely depressed to the floor and i could smell it burning. After my appointment, i used my foot to pull the clutch back up and it actually worked. I drove directly to the dealership, pulling the clutch back up each time and oddly enough, by the time i arrived the clutch was functioning again. They were unable to reproduce the problem, however they said there was a bulletin addressing the 'very rare' issue, something to do with the boiling point of the factory installed hydraulic fluid. They flushed the system and put in a different oil. I have only had the car back for a day but to me the clutch still feels a little soft. I am documenting this in case it happens again and because this dangerous situation could have been avoided if the manufacturer would have voluntarily replaced the fluid, if that is really what caused this issue .

  • What is Recall?

    A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
  • What is Failure?

    Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
