Slave cylinder failure. Mine wanted to go on into the restaurant for coffee, even though I had the clutch pedal to the floor. I'm old, but I was still quick enough to kill the engine with the key. After a minute, I could use the clutch normally - one time - then again I had no clutch.
No fluid leaked out, it simply bypassed the piston inside the slave cylinder and let the clutch lever return to he engaged position.
Warranty replaced slave cylinder assembly. Obviously this is not a unique problem. It's also a safety issue - I would insist on that coverage being extended.
Good luck.
