HELP Clutch Got really soft out of the blues

I had a problem yesterday when driving around town. The clutch was working fine and all of a sudden th clutch felt like it was very soft in the first 2 inches of pressing down the clutch. All the gears still engaged but the first about 2 inches became really soft as if there was no resistance. Then the clutch started to work again and felt normal. After a few minutes it did it again. The outside temp was like around 90+ so it was hot. Can this be due to fluids or what is the cause of this? car still under warranty but this morning it felt fine. This issue occured all day yesterday but was working fine this morning. Any one know the problem? Car is still under warranty and has 25k on them. So im thinking it can't be the fluids because its not even 30k yet.

kinda normal with these G's. Take it to the dealer and warranty it out but drive it hard prior to arriving at the dealer then take a tech for a test drive or else the tech wont get the same results you did.

My pedal does the same, mainly happens in hot weather or when the engine temps heat up.

do you know what the issue usually is? so this this has only happened to me once. Should i wait and see if it does it again or should i just take it to the dealer?

Happens to me when its 85+ degrees out and I'm in stop and go traffic for awhile. As soon as I get out and the clutch cools off some it goes away.

There's a ton of threads on this, just do a search on it.

there has been a fix for it.

some have replaced or upgraded clutch and lines.
some have replaced fluid, master cyclinder and other parts.

is this something the dealer can take care of? seems like the stainless steel lines are the way to go
