Took it back to the original dealer and they replaced the master cylinder and it works now but it doesn't feel right. The clutch doesn't engage until the clutch pedal is returned almost until the initial position which feels like the clutch friction surface it worn out and the dealer is looking at it right now. Everything so far has been covered under warranty and if they try to tell me that this next part is not I'm not going to pay it.
I've had this car for 25,000 miles, and am on my second transmission, my second clutch, and I can feel the same problem that required the new transmission is starting again. Not very impressed with the quality of this car.
