Last August, when I went to start my 2017 FiST, the clutch pedal stuck to the floorboard. After it did this a second time, I took it to the local Ford dealer to be repaired. I was told the problem was a low brake fluid level caused by rear rotors and pads that needed replacement. New ones were installed. The next day the pedal stuck to the floor again.
Back to the dealership. The service advisor informed me I needed a new clutch master cylinder. The car was towed in and a new cylinder installed. They kept the car overnight and a technician drove it home, testing the repair. I was assured the problem was fixed.
A few weeks ago it happened again. Since the new master cylinder was installed I’ve only driven the car 560 miles. (The car has 14,600 miles on the odometer). I’m neither a racer nor a novice with a stick and am really puzzled by this persistent problem, particularly on a car with such low mileage.
I have another service appointment scheduled for next week and am assuming I’ll be told the car needs a new clutch slave cylinder. It’s an amazing little car....but that’s with a functioning clutch.
Any advice or suggestions would be very appreciated.
