Clutch "helper spring" and "sweet spot" colocated- dificult to control clutch engagement.

The hydraulic hose on the clutch failed at the time the clutch was depressed to start the engine.the vehicle lurched forward as the engine started even though there is a clutch-starter interlock because the clutch had not disengaged.the clutch pedal was fully depressed but the clutch was still engaged, leading to this unsafe condition.after turning off the engine and putting the gear shift in neutral, the car was restarted but the clutch pedal remained at the depressed position and never came up.upon removing the car from the garage, there was a pool of hydraulic fluid on the floor.mercedes had to tow the car in and replace the hydraulic hose.this hose did not display any signs of abrasion or damage and had failed internally on a vehicle with only 300 miles on the odometer.luckily, the failure happened with the car sitting in the garage but there is an unsafe condition that does allow the car to lurch forward when starting.this was a manufacturing defect and there could be other vehicles outfitted with the same hydraulic hose from the same mercedes supplier.if the clutch had failed while driving at highway speeds, it would have been very unsafe to maneuver the vehicle without any control or power.
