I've also observed a degradation in the vehicle's handling characteristics, paired with a Stability Control No Longer Available warning message. I have ruled out a fuse-related issue, as all fuses have been assessed and found to be functional. …”

The clutch/flywheel failed catastrophically. The car became harder and harder to shift and then wouldn't go into gear at all. I stopped turned the engine off. …”
