Business ProfileforDCH Honda of Nanuet

I purchased a **** Corvette, 6 speed manual V8 with ****** miles on the odometer from DCH Honda of Nanuet on 04/30/2021. The vehicle appeared to be in impeccable condition which was verified multiple times by the salesperson and sales manager. The total sale purchase price on was *********. Included in that purchase price was the purchase of a separate service contract costing *******. I dove the car several times during the spring and summer months mostly highway driving accounting for about 200 miles or less. The last time I drove the car which was in late October the clutch pedal stuck to the floor upon starting and rendered the vehicle undrivable. After having the car towed to a certified repair shop the diagnosis is an unrepairable clutch slave cylinder which will cost ******* to replace. I contacted the service contract company and they do not cover the clutch or brake hydraulic systems. I then called DCH Honda and spoke to the sales manager several times describing the broken system and their response is that they are not responsible. I disagree. My reasons are as follows: After the car was undrivable I investigated thru multiple internet sites what the possible causes were and found that this problem is a common issue with manual transmission corvettes and replacing the slave cylinder hydraulic fluid is a part of frequent regular maintenance. The fluid should appear to be clear however when I checked the fluid it was black. I leave the details of the cause and effects to the experts however I believe the corvette I purchased was not in proper working condition given the state of the hydraulic fluid and the known system maintenance requirements. I also feel that this clutch failure could have happened while I was driving and potentially could have cause serious bodily harm or worse. Given the color and condition of the hydraulic fluid this didnt happen within 200 miles or the car being parked.
