GM HAS ISSUED A SAFETY BULLETIN IN REGARDS TO A BROKEN FUEL TANK THAT COULD CAUSE EXPLOSIONS, OR FIRE. I HAVE TRIED TO GET THEM TO PERFORM THE REPAIR BUT THEY ARE REFUSING. THE PROBLEM IS FOR ALL YEARS OF THE PONTIAC AZTEK AND BUICK RENDEZVOUS. I HAVE A LEAK FROM THIS LOCATION, THE FUEL INLET, AND AM NEARLY AFRAID TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE, BUT AT A COST OF OVER 2000 DOLLARS, GM IS ALSO INFLATING THE COST BECAUSE THEY KNOW THE REPAIR NEEDS TO BE DONE.

THE CAR WAS PARK! THE KEYS IN, I PULLED KEYS OUT N THE CAR ROLLED BACKWARDS I HOP IN THE CAR N TURN THE WHEEL AND I FLEW OUT AND THE CAR RAN ME OVER TIRE ON MY BACK THE CAR DIDN'T STOP I PUSHING THE BRAKES NOTHING! *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2001 PONTIAC AZTEK. THE CONTACT STATED WHEN HIS WIFE APPLIED THE BRAKE, SHE EXPERIENCED IMMEDIATE AND COMPLETE BRAKE FAILURE. A POPPING AND WHOOSHING SOUND WAS HEARD AND THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A PRIVATE MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS FOUND THAT ONE OF THE BRAKE LINES FAILED DUE TO RUSTED THROUGH AT THE POINT OF FAILURE, AS WELL AS EXTREMELY RUSTED AT EVERY PLACE IT WAS CLIPPED TO THE BODY OF THE VEHICLE TO THE BACK OF THE VEHICLE. THE MECHANIC RECOMMENDED THE ENTIRE BRAKE LINE BE REPLACED. . THE VEHICLE WAS BEING REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED ABOUT THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 136,000. THE CONSUMER STATED IT WAS THE SECOND TIME, THE BRAKE LINE FAILED, DUE TO CORROSION. THE FIRST TIME WAS IN 2007, WHEN THE VEHICLE HAD 65,000 MILES. UPDATED 03/11/15. *JB

PURCHASED THE PONTIAC 2001 AZTEK FROM A DEALER USED. THE FIRST WEEK THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. SECOND WEEK THE SERVICE VEHICLE LIGHT CAME ON AND THE THERMOMETER GAUGE WAS STUCK IN COLD, TOOK THE CAR TO CHECKERS AUTOPARTS TO DIAGNOSE. WAS A BAD THERMOSTAT. ANOTHER WEEK LATER THE ENGINE STARTED OVERHEATING. STOPPED CHECKED COOLANT. WAS GONE OUT OF THE RESERVOIR, WHICH I JUST HAD FILLED AT JIFFY LUBE THAT MORNING. STOPPED BY THEM AGAIN, THEY CHECKED THE LIQUIDS, FOUND COOLANT MIXED IN WITH THE OIL. ADVISED NOT TO CONTINUE DRIVING THE VEHICLE SINCE IT CAN MESS UP THE ENGINE. CALLED DEALER AND HAD THEM TOW IT. THEY HAVE BEEN WORKING ON IT FOR THE PAST 4 DAYS. STATED THAT IT WAS THE INTAKE MANIFOLD GASKET. WONDERING IF THIS VEHICLE IS SAFE AFTER READING SEVERAL COMPLAINTS REGARDING IT. AND ALSO IF PONTIAC WOULD FIX IT. *TR

2001 PONTIAC AZTEK TRUCK. CONSUMER SENT DOCUMENTS REGARDING WORK DONE TO VEHICLE *TGW THE CONSUMER STATED THE TRANSMISSION HAD TO BE REPLACED, THE WINDOW WOULD NOT GO DOWN AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATED *JB

THE DRIVER SIDE SEAT AIRBAG DEPLOYED AFTER THE DRIVER SHUT THEIR DOOR, WHILE THE CAR WAS IN PARK.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2001 PONTIAC AZTEK. WHILE ATTEMPTING TO CLOSE THE DOOR, THE AIR BAGS DEPLOYED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 130,000.

AIR CONDITIONING REPLACED 4 TIMES AT MY OWN EXPENSE ONCE WHEN IT WAS UNDER WARRANTY. SHORTLY AFTER IT BROKE AGAIN DUE TO DEFECT IN MANUFACTURING AS STATED BY THE DEALERSHIP. HOLE IS CREATED DUE TO BRACKET AND COOLANT LEAKS OUT. THE PURCHASE AND INSTALL OF A NEW ONE HAS COST ME $1200 EACH TIME IT HAPPENS AND FOR THE PAST 4 YEARS I'VE JUST DRIVEN WITHOUT AIR CONDITIONING DUE TO THE COST FACTOR AND KNOWING IT'S GOING TO HAPPEN AGAIN IN THE NEXT 2 MONTHS. EVERYTIME IT WAS REPLACED IT WAS FOR THE SAME PROBLEM A HOLE IN THE CONDENSER. I'VE HEAR COMPLAINTS FROM EVERY ATZEK OWNER I'VE MET ABOUT THE AIR CONDITIONING AND STILL PONTIAC REFUSES TO FESS US TO THE MANUFACTURING DEFECT. FOR THE PAST 4 YEARS I'VE HAD TO DRIVE AROUND IN 90+ DEGREE HEAT WITHOUT AIR BECAUSE OF THIS. I'M A FIELD TECHNICIAN AND I'M TRAVELING YEAR ROUND. I HAD AN 88 GRAND PRIX PREVIOUSLY AND THAT HAD ISSUES WITH THE BRAKES AND I SPENT THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS ON BRAKES ONLY TO RECEIVE A LETTER 2 YEARS AFTER I GOT RID OF THE CAR CLAIMING I CAN GET MONEY BACK DUE TO A DEFECT IN THE BRAKES. I SHOULDN'T HAVE TO SUFFER FROM HEAT EXHAUSTION DUE TO A DEFECT IN THE WAY PONTIAC DESIGNED THE AC. THEY SHOULD ATLEAST BE ABLE TO DESIGN SOMETHING THAT WON'T CORE A HOLE IN THE CONDENSER. THEY ALSO HAVE ISSUES WITH THE TAILGATE AND REAR LIGHTS PEELING. I HAVE TO OPEN MY TAILGATE 2 TIMES AND USE THE KEY WHILE PULLING THE TAILGATE UP. I'VE GOTTEN THE PARTS REPLACED 2 TIMES AND IT HASN'T SOLVED THE PROBLEM THEY TELL ME EVERYTIME I OPEN THE TAILGATE I HAVE TO MANUALLY ADJUST THE STOPS SO THAT THE TAILGATE WILL OPEN AGAIN. I SHOULDN'T HAVE TO DO THIS. I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE WITH THESE ISSUES EVERYONE IS. *TR

I WAS FINDING ANTIFREEZE IN MY OIL. TOOK TO THE SHOP AND HAD TO HAVE THE INTAKE GASKET AND THE MANIFOLD GASKET REPLACED. ALSO HAD TO HAVE A NEW THERMOSTAT AND PVC VALVE. IT COST ALMOST $900.00. THIS IS NOT THE ONLY PROBLEMS HAVE HAD TO HAVE THE FRONT WHEEL BEARINGS REPLACED 2 TIMES AND BRAKE SHOES 2 TIMES. ALSO HAD TO HAVE THE HEATER FIXED. NOW THE AC DOES NOT WORK. HAD TO HAVE THE WINDOW CONTROL UNIT REPLACED ON THE DRIVER SIDE. HAD TO HAVE COMPUTER COMPONENTS REPLACED BECAUSE THE BATTERY WENT BAD WITH NO NOTICE. AND NOW THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS DO NOT WORK. TO FIX THIS PROBLEM IS GOING TO COST ME $200 THAT IS JUST FOR THE WHOLE MOTOR AND CONNECTING RODS. BECAUSE IT IS A FACTORY ONLY PART. ALL TOGETHER I HAVE PAID ALMOST $2,000.00. THE AC IS THE CONDENSER WHICH IS ANOTHER $300.00. I HAVE HAD AND LOVED GM VEHICLES FOR AWHILE. BUT THIS KIND OF THING HAS NEVER BEEN A PROBLEM.....SOMETHING HAS GOT TO BE DONE. *JB

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2001 PONTIAC AZTEC. THE VEHICLE WAS LOCKED IN THE PARK POSITION. THE CONTACT READ THE OWNER'S MANUAL AND ATTEMPTED TO RELEASE THE VEHICLE THROUGH THE CUPHOLDER AS INSTRUCTED. SHE COULD NOT DO SO ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE AND WENT TO THE PASSENGER SIDE INSTEAD. SHE WAS ABLE TO RELEASE THE LOCK AND WAS ON HER WAY BACK TO THE DRIVER'S SIDE WHEN THE VEHICLE KNOCKED HER DOWN. ACCORDING TO WITNESSES, THE VEHICLE MADE AN L AND STRUCK ANOTHER VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED AND HAS NOT YET BEEN DIAGNOSED. UPDATED 08/27/08. *LJ UPDATED 08/27/08. *JB

TRANSMISSION WENT OUT ON MY 2001 PONTIAC AZTEK. WHEN MY WIFE DROVE OVER RAILROAD TRACKS A LOAD SOUND CAME FROM UNDERNEATH THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVING ERRATICALLY. SHE PUSHED THE ONSTAR BUTTON AND THEY TOLD HER THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE TRANSMISSION. WE TOOK IT TO A LOCAL REPAIR SHOP AND THEY HAD TO REBUILD THE WHOLE TRANSMISSION AND EVEN SERVICE SOME PARTS FOR THE ALL WHEEL DRIVE TRANSFER CASE. THE VEHICLE ONLY HAS 80,000 MILES, THIS IS NOT NORMAL! *NM

FIVE YEARS AFTER OWNING OUR 2001, PONTIAC AZTEC OUR INSIDE FAN CONTROL BURNT UP AND NEEDED REPLACEMENT. 07/07/2009 I PURCHASED ANOTHER 2001, AZTEC AT AN AUCTION AND TO FIND OUT THE FAN WASN'T WORKING. I BROUGHT MY VEHICLE INTO THE GARAGE FOR REPAIRS AND MAINTANENCE AND THE MECHANIC SAID THE WIRES WERE MELTED AND IT WILL COST CLOSE TO $200.00 FOR JUST REPLACEMENT PARTS. THE FIRST PONTIAC HAD EXTENDED WARRANTY WHICH WAS A GOOD THING. IN CLOSING I AM CURIOUS TO KNOW IF OTHER COMPLAINTS HAVE BEEN FILED? THANK YOU *TR

WE HAVE HAD PROBLEMS WITH OUR REAR HATCH OPENING PROPERLY SINCE WE PURCHASED THIS AZTEC NEW IN 2000. ABOUT 3 YEARS AGO, THE PROBLEM DEVELOPED INTO NOT BEING ABLE TO OPEN THE REAR HATCH WITH THE KEY FOB, DASH RELEASE BUTTON AND THE MOST FRUSTRATING AS WELL AS DANGEROUS ASPECT IS IT WOULD NOT OPEN EVEN BY USING THE VEHICLE KEYS. IT HAS NOW INCREASED TO THE POINT THAT THE CARS ALARM SYSTEM WILL GO OFF ON ITS OWN, THE AIR CONDITIONER QUITS WORKING, THE REMOTE ENTRY DOOR SYSTEM BECOMES USELESS AND ENTIRE VEHICLES ELECTRICAL DOOR LOCK SYSTEM FAILS. SINCE ONLY THE TWO FRONT DOORS WILL OPEN WITH THE VEHICLE KEY AND WE ALMOST ALWAYS HAVE CHILDREN IN CAR SEATS IN THE REAR, THIS HAS BECOME A DANGEROUS SITUATION. IN SEARCHING THE INTERNET, WE FOUND THAT IF WE PULLED THE FUSE THAT CONTROLLED THE VEHICLES COMPUTER MODULE, CALLED THE BCM, THE MODULE WOULD RESET ITSELF AND IT WOULD TEMPORARILY FIX THE PROBLEM. ESTIMATES TO FIX THIS BY THE DEALER ARE UPWARDS OF $ 700.00 AND HE DOESN'T KNOW FOR SURE IF THIS WILL FIX THE PROBLEMS. AN AC DELCO BRANDED BCM REPLACEMENT ON THE INTERNET CAN BE PURCHASE FOR LESS THAN $ 170.00. I BELIEVE GM SHOULD ISSUE A RECALL ON THIS PRODUCT OR AT LEAST OFFER TO FIX THE PROBLEM AT A REASONABLE COST TO THE CONSUMER. *TR

FRONT CRASH AGAINST A SOLID CORNER OF A BUILDING, APROX SPEED CRASH 45 MPH. GM DID NOT WANT TO REPAIR OR REPLACED, INSTEAD FACED A TRIAL WHERE THEY COMMITTED A FRAUD AND OTHER FELONIOUS, ALL OF THEM PROVEN, STILL AFTER NEARLY 9 YEARS STILL FACING CIVIL AND CRIMINAL CHARGES. GM DEALER WITH FALSE STATEMENT STILL NOW A DAYS KEEPS THE VEHICLE, SAME THAT STILL CAN BE ANALYZED NOW A DAYS BECAUSE IT HAS NOT BEEN REPAIRED. LOTS OF DAMAGE CAUSED BY GM, DEALERS, LAWYERS AND EXPERT WITNESSES. REGRET VERY MUCH SUCH A POOR BEHAVIOR OF GM, I MA READY TO SUPPLY AS MUCH INFORMATION AS NEEDED, PHOTOS, REPORTS, AND COURTS DOCUMENTS THAT PROVES THEIR FELONIOUS. A GM EXPERT WITNESS SUBMITTED TO THE COURT A FALSE REPORT, AND ALSO BOUGHT THE OFFICIAL EXPERT WITNESS OF THE COURT, THESE FELONIES HAVE ALREADY BEEN PROVED BYTHE COURT, THAT IS WHY NOW THEY ARE FACING A CIVIL AND CRIMINAL CHARGES, FOR GM IF NOT QUALITY GOOD IS THE FRAUD!!!!! *TR
