What owners wrote
The clutch pedal lost pressure after idling for over thirty minutes, while in traffic, and after the engine has gotten hot and being driven for a couple of hours. The pedal will fall to the floor and you cannot switch gears. The stick shift won't even move into neutral and the car jerks really hard. It will sometimes cut off in the middle of driving if you don't reach down and pull the pedal up with your hand.
An accident happened after purchase but it has nothing to do with the problems I am having with the car ... I have problems starting car , shocks, struts, heat, shifting and removing keys from ignition .... The car was supposed to be certified pre owned and was not.
