I predict a punch once the dust settles here. And probably no more VW purchases in the breld household for quite some time.
Stunned on this. Let’s hope they make it right.

Any reports on other forums as far as premature clutch wear?
Good luck. Once the dust settled I’m anxious to see what the replacement will be.
Definitely gives me pause on looking at an Atlas at some point.

My wife just got off the phone with customer care and they've escalated it, so nothing new at this point, which is what I expected. She did ask that the vehicle be bought back, which I advised her to do in the spirit of "may as well ask." At a minimum, I would want them to offer a warranty on the replaced clutch. I mean, the failed clutch was a new one 9k miles ago too...are we to be driving it on pins and needles waiting for another failure?
We'll see...my wife has a gift with words, so I'm letting her handle the correspondence.

There was zero indication that anything was going on with the Alltrack, and for that matter, no warning lights ever came on at all, even when the failure occurred. My wife had taken a picture of the instrument panel as she was being pulled to the side of the road to show that there were no such warning lights.

...and, we've been kicking around replacements for the GTI. Not many manual transmission fun cars left (and, an even fewer number that @breld hasn't already owned...)

Never mind, I just looked back and saw it was new in August of 2019. I wonder why the dealership service department is making this so painful as it is <12 months and <12k miles???
Good luck. The clutch on my 2008 Acura TSX is still working fine at 161K miles.
I've rented VW products in the past, but given what I've seen here, I wouldn't be caught dead buying one.

Sorry to hear about your family being stranded on the the road and glad they are OK.
The only time I had a clutch pedal drop to the floor and not come back up was when the clutch cable snapped.
Hydraulic clutches don't have a cable, but like qbrozen said, clutch wear doesn't seem to be the root cause.

I wouldn’t spend a nickel for this issue. And, I’d start keeping a running total of the costs for time wasted dealing with this.
This kind of attitude steams my cockles!
As others have posted it doesn't sound like the clutch wore out either by use or abuse. Something else broke.

As well as the option of reversing course and getting another Miata.
