| Description of the problem | Car is at 3500 miles, bought new from dealer. Car is manual transmission. Car has been fine until 5/11/19. While stuck in highway traffic, the car stalled with the clutch depressed. 10 minutes after the incident, this time off the highway, the car stalled with the clutch depressed again when i was stopping at a stop sign. In case #1) i was in 1st gear. The stall was very smooth and not noticed by passengers (i noticed it due to tachometer falling to 0). The clutch was %100 depressed #2) i was in 3rd or 4th gears. I was slowing down for a stop sign. When i came to a stop, the car stalled. I was alert due to the first incident and made sure to take note of what happened. The clutch was once again depressed. In both cases, the car stalled and left me without the ability to accelerate or steer. Luckily the problem happened while stopping and not at high speeds. |
