Dear all,
Car details - model: IS220D
reg: '10 sep
mileage: 3500 miles
I have bought my lexus is220D in november and so far i have done about 3500 miles. The problem occured when i was driving in central london during the weekend where I was using the clutch more often than usual. Suddenly I had burning smell entering the vents followed by white smoke from the bonnet and a stuck clutch pedal which then had to be pulled out using my hand (not stuck under the mat, the pedal itself was stuck). is such clutch slippage normal given the car is quite new? Im getting the impression from lexus that 1) im the bad driver & 2) it's not a big deal.
Could you guys please help out to assess this situation a bit better?
thanks
