 I bought this car used august of 2002. i am now replacing the master cylinder for time #3. i know from the last 2 times the slave cylinder and clutch will also need to be done. this is absolutley horrid. my first replacements were 1/03 cylinders #1 and clutch #1, second time the repairs needed to be done in september, however due to an out of state move they were not done until 12/03 cylinders #2 and 1/04 clutch #2. i am at my wits end about this. i see other people have complained about multiple power train/clutch problems and replacements. my question is this: is suzuki liable with so many complaints about the same problem?*ak
