Vauxhall Astra on 2 occasions clutch pedal stayed down ,unable to engage gear. 2nd was changing lanes on m4 when changing down from 6th to 5th.

Car: Vauxhall Astra
Variant: Griffin
Model Year: 2019

Categories: Gearbox & Clutch

First occasion in a car park (Dec 2022) changing gear to reverse into a space. Clutch pedal stuck down and would not stay up. Break down engineer stated there had been a recall and was able to reset fault via computer.
Second occasion on M4 changing lanes to exit on M25 slip road, changing gear from 6th to 5th clutch pedal stuck down unable to engage any gears. Scary !
My garage checked and could find nothing but reported that there were several incidents of a similar nature noted via Google.

There have been posts on here with that problem with Vauxhalls but no updates with solutions . There was also a tier two recall but that was in regard to Astra K 1.6 Diesel ,

I have the same problem on my Astra 18 plate there is a known error and Vauxhall will pay if your car is under five years old I have reported this problem to them with the five years however they have only just found this out 5 years and 3 months in so will only pay 50% it’s on a pcp plan so not happy
