While in rush hour traffic my clutch pedal stuck to the floor causing the car to fill with smoke and rendering the car temporally inoperable after a few minutes I pumped the pedal and was able to continue home. The next morning the dealer informed me that I had worn out a clutch in 4000 miles and they would not warranty my problem.
The electric cooling fan has now failed 2 times. The first time happened six weeks after the expiration of the recall which the dealer did not honor. The replacement failed one year and one month after installation.
