Clutch Problems of Porsche Boxster

Brand new car (1 week old) with 400 total miles. Attempted to switch from 1st to 2nd gear in stop and go traffic, clutch pedal stuck to the floor with 2nd gear engaged. Was unable to operate the clutch, although it remained engaged in 2nd gear. As traffic came to a stop, vehicle stalled due to inability to disengage the clutch. Was not able to engage 1st gear or restart the car. After blocking traffic for 5+ minutes, was able to force gear level into 1st gear and restart the ignition, moving forward. Was not able to disengage the clutch to switch gears. After towing, dealer examined car and replaced clutch master cylinder.

My clutch was making a terrible noise for a week after I initially purchased the car and then again about a week prior to the failure of the clutch. I only have 24000 miles on the clutch and it failed suddenly causing a burning cloud of smoke. I reported the problem initially to the Porsche dealer in new orleans, crescent city motors, and they told me that noises were common and that it was not a problem. I feel this caused my clutch to burn up prematurely, however, they feel like there was no problem in the materials and workmanship. I have heard that there are problems with the throw out bearing in Porsche Boxsters and this is the part that was making the noise.
