Purchased car brand new in 2002, daily driver nothing special. Had to replace full clutch assembly in 2004 due to massive mechanical failure (cost 900$ out of my pocket) not even 1 year later, clutch fails again due to mechanical failure (680$ to repair) now in 2007 I am looking at another busted clutch, the slave or master cylinder gave out while driving. There is no reason for this car to need a clutch job 3 times in 4 years......

: the contact stated while accelerating from a stop, the clutch felt as if it had lost pressure. This caused a hesitation in the manual transmission. The vehicle was not seen by a dealer. Also, the contact stated the front brake pads wore out too quickly. The brakes had to be changed 7 times in 5 years due to wear on the pads. The vehicle was previously taken to a service dealer, where the dealer was unable to determine the problem.

Pushed in clutch pedal, heard a loud pop, and clutch pedal went to the floor. The clutch would not disengage. I was able to pull into a parking lot were the car stalled. Got the vehicle towed to dealership. Dealer stated seals inside slave cylinder blew out and coated the clutch disc, pressure plate, and flywheel with fluid. Replaced slave cylinder and pressure plate, and resurfaced the flywheel. I had to pay $1009.35 to get the vehicle back.
