sorry for my first post being a problem lol!

well my mom and dad have an Smax through mobility and has done less than 5000 miles so still brand !Removed! new and have been having a reaccuring problem with the clutch the problem is it will stick down and not return to its normal position and they have to pull it back up with there feet and pump it a little to get any feeling back into it

has been sent back to ford several times and each time they have said its fine and theres nothing wrong but we get it back and its happend again obviously this isnt ideal when on a hill etc and my dads bad habbit of riding the clutch holding it on a hill but this shouldnt cause this! does anyone have any idea what the problem could be?

sounds to me like there's a air lock in the hydraulic system if its a hydraulic clutch which i assume it is im no expert! help lol! thanks in advance to anyone who can shed some light on this!
