While driving on the highway, you noticed a burning smell coming from your car. The dealership diagnosed this as clutch failure, and the same burning smell returned while they were inspecting the vehicle. Your car may have difficulty shifting into gear unpredictably, and there's a risk of smoke or flames due to the clutch wear. The clutch will need to be replaced to resolve this issue.
