IN A HARD STOP IN STOP-AND-GO RUSH HOUR FREEWAY TRAFFIC, A CORRODED STEEL HYDRAULIC BRAKE LINE FAILED. THIS WAS THE LINE FROM THE ABS MODULE TO THE RIGHT FRONT BRAKE. AS SUCH IT IMMEDIATELY CAUSED A SUBSTANTIAL LOSS OF BRAKING ABILITY - I WAS IN THE FAR LEFT LANE AND I WAS ABLE TO ABRUPTLY MOVE TO THE LEFT SHOULDER. HAD I BEEN IN ONE OF THE CENTER LANES THERE WOULD HAVE BEEN A CRASH, IT WOULD HAVE BEEN UNAVOIDABLE, THE REAR BRAKES WERE STILL FUNCTIONAL AND I STILL HAD LIMITED BRAKING ABILITY. AT THE POINT THAT THIS LINE ACTUALLY BROKE, IT WAS SPRAYING BRAKE FLUID DIRECTLY ON THE EXHAUST SYSTEM. I AM NOT CERTAIN WHETHER THERE WAS A FIRE, THE MECHANIC SAYS THERE MAY HAVE BEEN. THERE CERTAINLY WAS A LOT OF SMOKE. THE LINE IN QUESTION IS SECURED TO THE FIREWALL AND IS ROUTED CLOSE TO THE EXHAUST AT THAT POINT. IT APPEARS THAT OVER TIME THIS COMBINATION ALLOWS CORROSION TO WEAKEN THE LINE AT THIS PARTICULAR POINT. THE REMAINING LINES ON THIS VEHICLE ARE IN GOOD CONDITION AND I BELIEVE THEY WILL LAST THE LIFE OF THE VEHICLE. *JS

VEHICLE DASH GOES CRAZY SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT AND CHANGE OIL LIGHT WILL NOT GO OFF. MANY DIAGNOSTIC TESTS NO POPPED CODE NOR BAD FUSES. NOW SECURITY WARNING AND ANTI THEFT TURNS ON MY VEHICLE GOES ON LOCK DOWN NO AC, WINDOWS AND DOORS LOCK DOWN I CAN NOT GET OUT. THIS HAS HAPPENED TWO TIMES. ALSO NEWEST THING IS MY VEHICLE SHUT OF IN MID DRIVE, GOOD THING I WAS IN MY DRIVEWAY OTHERWISE IT COULD HAVE BEEN VERY BAD ACCIDENT. THIS IS A ON AND OFF THING NO WARNING. NOW THREE TIME INCIDENT, BUT 1ST FOR VEHICLE SHUT OFF ENGINE. *TR

CHECK ENGINE LIGHT APPEARED. TOOK VEHICLE TO MECHANIC AND WAS TOLD THE CODE WAS IN REFERENCE TO THE FUEL TANK PRESSURE SENSOR. MECHANIC DE-ACTIVATED CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. AFTER 2 DAYS, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT APPEARED AGAIN. TOOK TO DEALER AND HAD CODE CHECKED. SAME ISSUE WITH FUEL PRESSURE SENSOR. DEALER STATED THIS WAS A RECALL ISSUE. DEALER CHECKED WITH MANUFACTURER AND WAS TOLD THIS WAS NOT A PROBLEM. DEALER REMOVED CONNECTOR AT BODY PASS. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT DE-ACTIVATED. AFTER 1 WEEK, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT APPEARED. TRACTION CONTROL AND ANTI-LOCK BRAKE LIGHTS CONSISTENCY APPEAR AND DISAPPEAR WHEN DRIVING VEHICLE. THIS IS A DAILY OCCURRENCE. IN ADDITION, THE AUTOMATIC DOOR LOCKS WILL LOCK AND UNLOCK BY THEMSELVES. UPON STARTING UP THE VEHICLE, ALL GAGE LIGHTS WILL FLASH FOR A FEW SECONDS THEN GO OUT. A/C STOPPED WORKING AND HAS NOT WORKED SINCE. STEERING WHEEL RADIO VOLUME BUTTON SOMETIMES WORKS AND SOMETIMES DOESN'T. HAVE ALREADY PUT SO MUCH MONEY INTO REPAIR OF THIS VEHICLE WHICH WAS PURCHASED USED IN 2007 WITH 57,000 MILES. SERIOUSLY CONSIDERING TRADE-IN AS THIS VEHICLE IS A LEMON. HAVE SPENT HALF THE PURCHASE PRICE IN REPAIRS WITHIN 1 YEAR OF PURCHASE. AFTER SEARCHING INTERNET FOR AZTEK PROBLEMS, HAVE FOUND MANY COMPLAINTS REGARDING SAME ISSUES I HAVE EXPERIENCED WITH THIS VEHICLE. IF THESE ARE COMMON ISSUES WITH THIS MODEL, WHY IS THERE NO MANUFACTURER BULLETIN TO REPAIR THESE DEFECTS? *TR

THE CLEAR ENAMEL HAS BEEN COMING OFF MY 2002 AZTEK VERY BADLY...IT HAS BEEN FOR THE PAST YEAR. IS THIS NORMAL...THE ENGINE BONNET IS TERRIBLE AND ALL ABOVE THE DOORS AND HATCHBACK. *TR

ON AUGUST 16, 2004 I PURCHASED A 2002 PONTIAC AZTEK FROM PINES PONTIAC BUICK IN PEMBROKE PINES FLORIDA, ONE REASON FOR THIS PURCHASE WAS THE CERTIFIED USE CAR STICKER AND WHAT IT MEANT. WITHIN A FEW DAYS I WENT BACK TO THE DEALER WITH A COMPLAINT OF (1) THE REAR END SOUNDS LIKE IT WAS FALLING OFF THE VEHICLE ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU DROVE OVER EXPANSION JOINTS OR ANY THING IN THE ROAD OVER A 1/2".THE DEALERSHIP CLAIMED THAT THEIR WAS A TSB TO REPLACE THE BALL JOINT ON THE REAR WHEEL, I STILL HAVE THE PROBLEM TODAY. BUT OF MUCH SERIOUS CONCERN IS THE FACT THAT MY VEHICLE IS A VERATRAK ALL WHEEL DRIVE, WHICH WAS MAKING A MOANING NOISE WITH EVERY TURN LEFT, OR RIGHT. THE CAR WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER SHIP NUMEROUS TIMES TO NO AVAIL THIS WAS DONE A FEW TIMES DURING THE SO CALLED WARRANTY PERIOD AND MANY TIMES AFTER THAT. TO THIS DAY THE NOISE HAVE GOTTEN SO BAD THAT IT APPEARS ON ACCELERATION WHEN I TURN INTO MY DRIVE WAY,ANY LEFT OR RIGHT TURN. AT THIS POINT THE DEALER TOLD ME I AM OUT OF LUCK AND THERE IS NOTHING THAT THEY CAN DO ABOUT IT. I AM VERY AFRAID THAT SOON THE REAR END WILL LEAVE ME STRANDED AND THE DEALER HAVE LEFT ME HOLDING THE BAG ON WHAT COULD BE A COSTLY REPAIR TO ME I WOULD APPRECIATE SOMEONE LOOKING INTO THIS COMPLAINT AND SEE IF ANY OTHER OWNERS OF LIKE VEHICLE HAVE EXPERIENCED THE SAME PROBLEM,THANK YOU. *JB UPDATED 12/7/2005. *NM

RIGHT FRONT HUB FAILURE. HAD TO BE REPLACED BY DEALER AS NON WARRANTY, VEHICLE STARTED MAKING LOUD WHINNING NOISES THAT WOULD GO UP AND DOWN WHEN CAR WAS GOING OVER 25 MPH. DEALER SAID THIS WAS COMMON FOR THIS CAR. *AK

WILL BE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND HORN STARTS GOING OFF, ALL THE ELECTRICALS FLASH OFF AND ON. WINDOWS, DOOR LOCKS, AND REAR HATCH BECOMES NON OPERATIONAL. ONLY WAY TO STOP IS TO PULL OVER IMMEDIATLY AND SHUT CAR DOWN BUT NOT ALWAYS EFFECTIVE. ALARM WILL GO OFF ALL ON IT'S OWN SPORADICALLY. *TR

THE PASSENGER SIDE, LOW BEAM, HEADLIGHT HAS STOPPED WORKING. THE BULB, FUSES, AND WIRING CONNECTIONS HAVE BEEN EXAMINED AND ALL APPEAR TO BE FINE. APPROXIMATELY A MONTH LATER THE STEREO ELECTRONICALLY LOCKED ITSELF AS IF IT HAD BEEN PLACED IN ANOTHER CAR WITHOUT A MATCHING VIN. I HAVE BEEN PULLED OVER BY THE POLICE FOR A HEADLIGHT OUT. UPON ENTERING A SEARCH ONLINE I SEE MANY INSTANCES WHERE OTHER OWNERS HAVE REPORTED ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS WITH THESE VEHICLES. SOME INCLUDE FLASHING HEADLIGHTS, FAILURE OF DOOR LOCKS, STEREOS AND SECURITY LIGHTS TURNING ON/OFF. I SEE FROM THE VARIOUS POSTS THAT SOME OWNERS HAVE REPLACED THE BCM AS WELL AS WIRING HARNESS' THAT HAVE MOISTURE. THERE DOESN'T APPEAR TO BE A SOLID FIX AS I SEE SOME POSTS ARE RECURRING. THANKFULLY I HAVE ONLY RECEIVED WARNINGS FROM POLICE ABOUT MY FAILED LIGHT, HOWEVER, I DON'T EXPECT IT TO REMAIN THAT WAY. WHILE A LOSS OF A STEREO OR ELECTRIC LOCKS ARE A CONVENIENCE LOSS, THE LOSS OF AND/OR INTERMITTENTS HEADLIGHTS ARE A TRUE SAFETY HAZARD. *TR
