Default problem

Today, took the car for a ride. I was driving for about 30 min or so. I got on the expressway. Went through WOT 1st, 2nd then proceeded to 3td. The clutch stayed disengaged to the floor until the rev's came back down. When I let off the gas it poped back up. What would cause that to happen? Is that a common thing with a clutch. I have had only automatics in the past so I do not know if this is normal. I have 2,700 miles on the car and never had this happen before. Is it something I did wrong?

Help

I would take it back to the dealer ASAP. A clutch should not stick to the floor. It should follow your foot when you disengage

Same thing happened to me twice in 3 weeks.. I believe the clutch needs to be bled.. problem is that there is almost no way you will be able to reproduce it at a dealer and they will say "Nothing is wrong"

Did you bleed the clutch? Has it happened again? I will call them tomorrow and take it in.
