1 Clutch Pedal/linkage problem

Failure Date: 01/01/2019

6 speed manual transmission clutch pedal drops to the floor by itself and does not disengage the transmission. Cannot shift into or out of any gear. Happens at random times either driving or parked engine running or not. If I raise the pedal by hand it remains up and the clutch and the vehicle operates normally until the next time it happens. Very dangerous in traffic because I cannot maneuver safely causing other cars to take evasive actions to avoid me until I can safely reach down under the dash to lift the pedal and regain control. Reported to dealer three times but they refuse to address the issue because they can't make it happen at will.

2 Clutch Pedal/linkage problem

Failure Date: 05/27/2017

(missing dealer) tl the contact owns a 2013 Hyundai Veloster. While driving 50 mph, the clutch pedal collapsed onto the floorboard. The vehicle stalled directly afterwards due to the inability to switch gears properly. The contact was able to coast the vehicle to the right side of the road and restart the vehicle. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The dealer was made aware of the issue, but could not duplicate the failure. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 130,000.

3 Clutch Pedal/linkage problem

Failure Date: 05/06/2017

When stopping at a stop sign while pressing the brake and the clutch down at the same time on multiple occasions it seems the system loses pressure and the clutch pedal sticks to the floor and will not release. The only way to get the clutch up is to lift with foot or hand causing a delay in taking off. This has been taken to the dealer for them not to replicate resulting in my family driving this car until some further action is taken or the problem gets worse. It always seems to do this while in neutral shifting to first while hitting the brake and the clutch coming to a stop. Some research on the net says slave or master cylinder sticking.
