Check the plastic line that attaches right at the master cylinder. Sometimes these arent pushed on all the way and air can get into the fluid

I have now had my car have the clutch pedal drop to about 1” from the floor twice. Both times at the dealership when they pulled the car up for me to pick up. First time I just pumped it once or twice and it came back to normal. The last time I called the Service Writer over to see it and after checking it he pulled up on it and all was good. Said he would talk to their transmission tech and see if he knows anything.

Anyone had this happen? What was the remedy?

it has never done this except at the dealership. I have 66k on it. No track time yet.
I am having the exact same issue, I just got my clutch and flywheel replaced under warranty at my local Ford dealership. I got the call to come and pick it up, I got in, put my foot on the clutch pedal and little to no resistance. I thought oh dam, I pulled up on the pedal and compressed it a couple of times and it firmed up. I thought okay no big deal. Drove it home and all was fine, the next morning I went to go for a drive and the pedal went to the floor again. I thought I would just go for a quick cruise, got down the street and check engine light illuminated. My Ford app notified me of a misfire. Drove home and called Ford roadside to come and get it. My service writer notified me that it has a misfire in cylinders 4 and 7. Not sure how that came about, I have no modifications except for a Borla cat back exhaust. The misfire notification on my Ford has disappeared and received a email from my service writer telling me I possibly have air in the system and they are troubleshooting it. No word on the misfire, I will let you know what they find.

Interesting. My service writer is telling me the same thing. Says he is going to speak with his transmission tech and so far no reply on that subject. Car will be out of warranty on Feb. 14. Since there is a work order on this already I am not too concerned about an attempt at welching, but it is as if they know about this issue and just don’t want to deal with it. Will be speaking with him again on Monday in person and will press on him a bit.

Finally picked up the mustang and it turns out they had to bleed the air from the system several times and do a crank relearn for the misfire in both cylinders. It also turns out I had to take it back in because I now have a vibration throughout the car starting at 45mph to 60mph and it goes silent until i hit 80mph. My service advisor drove it and can feel the vibration and strange thing is the tech does not notice the vibration. Wish now I would have never took it in.
