Incredible and alarming increase in resistance when depressing the pedal today after about 20 mins of driving. Took it to dealer and they said they had received an email notice from AOA about "a clutch hose issue." The shop foreman hadn't seen the problem yet but suspects there will be an official recall.

yeah, it takes them a short time to replace it but then they have to drive your car 100 miles.

Default I dont know. I trust my dealership, they are great. But here is what they did
they fixed the problem and told me they had to drive the car to make sure it was ok. They said it would be about 100 miles so the lead tech would take it home and bring it back the next morning. I wasnt sure and I posted about this a little bit ago. Got my car back, its great and they did a great job fixing it. No compaints.

Default My dealer fixed it, adding about 10 miles. No reason they should need to add 100.
I've had no problems with the clutch since the repair either.
