Description of the problem	During low speed driving (roughly 20mph) in congested highway traffic, i attempted to shift gears on the manual transmission in my 2008 porsche cayenne gts. Upon doing so, the clutch pedal lost all resistance and pinned directly on the floorboard. As i began navigating toward the shoulder, smoke began pouring into the cabin. As i reached the shoulder, the car caught on fire. I escaped unharmed but the entire car burned and was totaled. Porshce has since been exceptionally reluctant to speak with me. This event happened in october (2009). My insurance company (state farm) has subrogated on my behalf and three months later, porsche is still not disclosing the findings of their investigation nor has anyone from porsche been in contact with me since early novemeber. This was a low mileage vehicle (roughly 12,000 miles) and maintenance was performed accordingly to the manufacturer's recommendation. As porsche's first model of their popular family suv to have a manual transmission - i fear for the safety of other owners and their children.
